Based on her original observations concerning the perception of musical pitch, interval, and rhythm, Professor Marianne Ploger has created and developed a comprehensive musicianship program oriented toward real-time music cognition, known as The Ploger Method.®  Her method is currently the basis for the musicianship curriculum at The Blair School of Music at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee; Professor Ploger also offers Musicianship Intensive courses and frequently presents her discoveries and theories in workshops and lectures around the country.  This website offers resources for students and teachers and a platform for the development of a community interested in heightening our musical powers of communication by deepening our understanding of perceptual principles.
