Music as a Second Language

Description

By Dr. Robert R. Abramson & Joseph Reiser

This music text is an excellent opportunity for music teachers to incorporate some of the Dalcroze Eurhythmics elements/techniques directly into their theory/ear-training classes.

In a step-by-step easy to follow approach, the 10 chapters introduce exercises covering subjects such as rhythmic skills, rhythmic patterns, pitch skills, scales, scale segments and a host of other subjects related directly to musical performance. Teachers are introduced to games, exercises, and suggested homework assignments that will make the elements of music theory more visceral, physical, and expressive, even though the class is mostly desk-bound.

The book includes 300 pages with 155 exercises. Easy to use for classroom and private teaching.
