 Seminar Course Two: Magical Musical Theory
As you walk into the old divination classroom you see, at one end, a black grand piano. Behind the piano is sat a tall man with dark curly hair, wearing a suit and tailcoat and playing a light, happy melody. It unlikely you’ve ever met him before – unless, of course, he is your music tutor. In front of the piano is a music stand with a few sheets of parchment on it, also lying here is a long wooden stick with a handle. No, not a wand, it is a conductor’s baton. Though it is as much a part of the man as his wand is so please leave it where it is. The man’s name is Dr Xavier James MacNally and he teaches, composes, conducts and plays a variety of instruments. If you look past him, just under the large black chalkboard - with his name written on it in a rather flamboyant script - you will notice a long mahogany chest with a sliver clasp on the front – don’t try and get into it, it’s locked. And [I]Alohamora[/I ] won’t help you either.
So come in, take a seat, write down your name, year and house on the card provided, fold it and place it on your desk so that Dr MacNally doesn’t have to keep asking your name. Please enjoy the entree music and greet Dr MacNally if you wish. Prepare yourself for an afternoon of music and – hopefully – enjoyment. |
