Deciphering Bach's Coffee Cantata With Dr. Georgia Newlin
The more things change, the more things stay the same. We discover this week that this old adage also applies to coffee, as we delve into the rebellious 18th Century coffee culture, and how Bach preserved it with all of today's familiar tropes in his beloved Coffee Cantata. Whether you're a coffee or history lover and just casually curious (the first half is for you), or a dedicated classical music lover (you'll love the second half, too), you don't want to miss this episode, packed with coffee (of course), historical facts, trivia, and lively musical commentary.
Dr. Georgia Newlin is an independent Music Education Consultant. She has taught in early childhood and public school music positions for sixteen years and at the collegiate level for sixteen.
Currently, Georgia is called upon as a conductor for choral festivals, as a clinician for choral workshops, reading sessions, and intermediate grade methodology, as well as a consultant for curriculum planning. She teaches musicianship, conducting, and ensemble in Kodály programs at Indiana University, University of Hawai’i, and James Madison University.
Georgia is Past President of the Organization of American Kodály Educators and is a member of The VoiceCare Network. She has presented at numerous national and international music education conferences.
She has had articles published in the Choral Journal, Orff Echo, Kodály Envoy, and Southwestern Musician, among others.
Music Is Elementary has published her book, One Accord: Developing Part-Singing Skills in School-Age Musicians, as well as her lesson plans for teaching music literacy through choral singing in The Crooked River Choral Project. Georgia is also published with the Ruth Dwyer Choral Series from Colla Voce.
Georgia has two daughters, Eliza and Sylvie, both named after American folk song characters. She considers herself most fortunate in that, through her vocation, she has spent her life making music with others.
