The Arts
The North Carolina Poet Laureate, Cathy Bowers was in Residency with the Advanced Placement Music Theory course. The Poet Laureate discussed the use of metaphor and the use of an abiding image. Tom Moncrief, AP Music Theory teacher, used the music of Beethoven to illustrate the use of the musical motif in relationship to the key components of the literary arts. This Virtual Residency was supported by the North Carolina Arts Council. Great example of using our Wimba Tools to bring this exciting opportunity to our courses.
