The AMS Early Musics Skills and Resources Study Group is delighted to announce Early Music 101, a series of interactive online workshops aimed at advanced undergraduates and graduate students curious about musical practices before 1600, and at researchers interested in developing a secondary research area in early music. Early Music Research 101 will provide participants with a foundational understanding of what research in early music involves.

The third session, “Filling Up Your Toolkit,” will be instructed by Luisa Nardini and Jennifer Bain on 10 December 2026 at 4:00 p.m. ET.

Jennifer Bain and Luisa Nardini survey the essential skills and resources of the early music researcher, from transcribing early notation to using digital repositories and databases. Participants will leave with a practical toolkit for launching their own research on pre-1600 musical traditions.
