teleribPure, pure hubris... For some time, I have wanted to design a comprehensive "how to" or curriculum for SCA bards. Here is a proposed outline.
Each bullet would be expanded on its own webpage. In addition to whatever pearls of wisdom I think I have to offer, I could link to some of the many great existing bardic resources on the web. I will have to, in some cases, since I have no personal expertise in (say) vocal technique or theater tricks.
Some bullets would have short pages. Some, like "Period Performance," I could happily expand upon with more and more links, more pathways, more possible ways of doing.
Clearly (or I hope clearly), it's more a course catalog than a syllabus. Somebody who wants to do the traditional SCA bardic thing can ignore the musicianship or research parts that don't interest her.
Thoughts, opinions? Additions/subtractions?

I'm interested!

- How to select pieces to fit different venues and audiences
- How to lead/teach rounds and fighting songs
- Bardic arts for children
I also really liked your elementary music theory class. Very appropriate to our period, and really fascinating stuff.
