Learn to read 14thC music notation with online tutorials!
The AHRC grant held by DIAMM that I have been PI on over the past year has just come to an end. My role in the grant was to develop a set of online learning tutorials to teach people how to read medieval music notation. I chose to focus the tutorials on basic fourteenth-century French notation, mainly because that’s where my own interests lie, but also because DIAMM now has a very good set of images for this notation, namely the images from the Ferrell-Vogüé Manuscript (known to Machaut geeks like me as Vg).
The tutorials are now available in a trial version, using the open-source VLE Moodle. Click here to go to the site. Registration is free!
