    TONALRefractions
      Three private sessions of TONALRefraction (each session approximately 1 1/4 hours)
        • will solve the stated problem or
        • will illuminate its depth in such a way as to render it
            musically meaningful.

      TONALRefraction may be applied:

        1. In reference to a printed score - to address a specific
            piece of music or problem.
        2. In reference to imagined or remembered sound -
             to illuminate deep underlying musical problems.

      By affirming flexible hearing       TONALRefraction yields improved
      coordination in a holistic approach to music. Done in silence,
      the work might be supplemented with exercises to extend the
      person's range of hearing.
        • Session One introduces the color/tone analogy and basic spatial propositions.
        As a rule the impact is felt already in the first session.
        • Session Two relates the persons's ear logic to the music in question with suggested modifications. The person by this time internalizes the relevance of the process.
        • Session Three assesses the process and indicates ways to work under the influence of         TONALRefraction

      TONALRefraction may be further pursued in single sessions at advanced levels
        • to explore extended structures
        • to hypothesize different tonal propositions
        • to further sensitize the ear to tonal variation
        • to speculate on compositional thinking of
            master composers
