Re: [Harp-L] Strict Counterpoint



The study of Counterpoint is just one step, of one method, on the road to becoming a competent musician or composer.
There are many basic primers out there for a few Bucks which give the basics. Best place is a local music shop which serves schools..
Robert's explanation is about all you can do to teach someone without sitting with them or spending hours writing emails and correcting and explaining. Listening to the music or looking at examples gives the feel but not the detailed accuracy needed to write... especially if it is a first effort!!!

Holy smokes, counterpoint, should I start dusting off my Bach sheet music?
If you son wants to learn counterpoint he should pick up 'The well tempered
Clavier" by Bach.  That will give him counterpoint until he is sick of it.
