The theory of parallel development of musical and language senses in the infant will be explored and the importance of their developments in the early years emphasized; various games and other procedures, such as holding the two-year-old in ones lap and helping him/her "conduct", will be introduced to assist this development. Chapter 9, "The Parents Role" in Ruth Edwards book The Compleat Music Teacher will be presented. The "Three Interviews Method" of teacher selection will be presented, as will an exposι of tricks school teachers might use to entice a student to a less desirable instrument.
乐感与语感的平行发展所体现出早期教育的重要性将被进一步探索。现阶段各种游戏也将协助这方面的发展，如把一个两岁大的孩子抱在腿上以帮助他学习指挥等。此外，露丝·爱德华兹的书 The Compleat Music Teacher 第9章里父母的角色以及用三访谈法来 甄选教师，揭露了一些不称职的学校老师可能用的技巧以吸引学生，但学生并没有得到自己理想乐器的行为。
COURSE TITLE: Music History Taught Backward 追溯音乐教学史
DESCRIPTION: 描述
An alluring new approach to music history beginning with the students favorite selections of todays music including avant garde, rock, disco, etc., then moving backwards in time to provide insight into their relationships to each other and to music of the masters.
诉说音乐史的最好方式往往需始于学生对当今音乐包括前卫派，摇滚，迪斯科等的喜好选择。然后用倒序的方式让学生去深入了解作品与音乐家的关系。
MATERIALS: A record/tape recording of a favorite current piece of music. 材料需求：一段自己最喜欢的音乐录像或磁带
COST ABOVE FEES: The investment (if any) in the record. 费用要求：录音费用（如果有的话）
AGE: 12-adult. 年龄要求：12岁以上
PREREQUISITES: None. 必备条件：无
FREQUENCY & DURATION: Either four or eight One-Hour meetings. 所需时间：4-8小时
MIN-MAX: 6-20 人数要求：6-20人
DETAILS: 详情
This course takes sort of a "Roots" approach: by raising questions about the mutual beginnings and other similarities of Bach and the Beatles, interest can be maintained at greater intensity than if the usual approach beginning with "meaningless antiquities" is used.
这个课程需要用到排序寻根的方法：通过提出关于巴赫和披头士或其他类似音乐家的相关问题来开展，这种方式远比从毫无意义的年代开讲更能激起参与者的兴趣。
The science of music is the relationship of sounds to each other; the art of music is the relationship of sounds to the listener. Although Aristotle ascribed certain powers to different musical scales due in part to the physical effects they have upon us, this power is more likely to be a result of meaning attached to the scales by social convention. We have, as in Aristotles day, come to expect certain musical nuances to express certain feelings or moods. It is thus also important to begin a music appreciation course with music to which the student can relate. This thesis serves as the basis for the structuring of this course.
音乐学是乐曲间相互关系，而音乐艺术是乐曲与聆听者的关系。尽管亚里士多德把这种影响力归因于不同的音阶部分对我们的影响，这种影响力更倾向于连接到社会习俗尺度的结果。在亚里士多德的时代，我们认为特定的音乐细微差别来表达特定的情感或情绪。因此，也开始了学生能够叙述的音乐鉴赏课。此次论点作为本课程的基础。
Another important advantage of this approach is that anyone, whether ones musical taste be classical, modern or pop, will begin the course with the feeling that their taste is the one under consideration, but will leave the course with appreciation of previously unappreciated music as well as with an enhanced appreciation of their previous likes.
这种方法的另一个重要的优势是，无论一个人的音乐品味是古典，现代或流行音乐，都将从他们喜欢的音乐开始课程，以提升他们对之前所喜欢音乐的鉴赏度。
COURSE TITLE: Ear Training (Including Solfιge): Primary, Secondary, Advanced听力训练（视唱练耳）：初级，中级，高级
DESCRIPTION:描述
Designed to develop sensitivity to intervals and rhythm, and an ability to freely transfer from notes to sound and from sound to notes. The Primary Level introduces solfιge and covers basic scale and interval patterns and simple rhythms. The Secondary Level introduces changing keys and more difficult rhythms. The Advanced Level introduces elaborate modulations, chromatic embellishments, modal idioms, and musical interpretation.
本课程主要是提升对音程和节奏的敏感度，能自如的在音符和乐曲间完成转换。初级：涵盖了基本音阶，音程和简单的节奏。中级：包括了调的不断变化，以及更复杂的节奏。高级：包括复杂调制，润色，调式，以及音乐诠释。
MATERIALS: Sight singing book, manuscript paper. 材料要求：音乐书，草稿本
COST ABOVE FEES: $20 材料费用：20 美元
AGE: Any 年龄要求：无
PREREQUISITES: Secondary Theory or equivalency test. 必备条件：通过二级原理或者相同水平测试
FREQUENCY & DURATION: 所需时间：总共三个级别，每个级别分别需8小时，1周1小时，8周完成（少儿课程15-30分钟，一周一次，10周完成）
Each of the three levels will meet one hour per week for 8 weeks (programs for younger ages are fifteen to thirty minutes duration and meet once per week for 10 weeks).
MIN-MAX: 6-15 per level. 人数要求：6-15人
DETAILS: 详情
Not only are many accomplished musicians frequently very poor sight-readers, but many students and amateurs may greatly suffer from their inability to play even the simplest piece without having studied it for weeks or months. Thus, in the course of years of study, they acquire nothing but a limited "repertory" and fail entirely to attain a broader overview of what is available for their instruments.
如果没有经过几周或几个月的视奏训练，不管是已有成就的音乐家，学生或是业余爱好者都可能在视奏中没办法正常发挥。 所以多年的学习，他们获得的只不过是一种有限的曲目，并不能真正的实现用他们的乐器进行视奏。
The first half of the class period is used for sight reading, the second half for ear training. A typical text for sight singing might be Berkowitza's book; several ear training recordings (including a set from Rutgers University) are available. The age of students allowed in the class is something best played "by ear"; when students are properly placed it is easier to go too slow that too fast, so a slower (not necessarily a younger) student is not always a hindrance to the class.
前半期的上课时间主要用于视奏，后半期的课程时间用于练耳。会用到代表性的文本视唱---出自贝尔科维奇; 练耳材料（包括罗格斯大学所创作的）。适合参加这个班的是能不用乐谱且发挥正常的学员，因为当学生得到妥善安置，就能掌控太慢或太快的节奏，速度较慢的学生也可以跟上班级的进度。

The professional as well as amateur actor may have little or no ability to read music well enough to lend musical support to a production or to competently audition for that role that would otherwise be a "sure thing." This course is designed to provide awareness of the basic tools necessary to acquire the "minimum daily requirements" of musical sensibility.
专业及业余演员很少有足够的视奏能力支撑起作品，或是完全胜任这个角色需求。 本课程旨在提供必要技巧去帮助学员获得每天最低需求的音乐敏感度。
A typical text for sight singing might be Berkowitz book; several ear training recordings (including the Rutgers University set) are available. The age of students allowed in the class is something best played "by ear"; when students are properly placed it is easier to go too slow than too fast, so a slower (not necessarily a younger) student is not always a hindrance to the class.
本课会用到代表性的文本视唱---出自贝尔科维奇; 练耳材料（包括罗格斯大学所创作的）。适合参加这个班的是能不用乐谱且发挥正常的学员，因为当学生得到妥善安置，就能掌控太慢或太快的节奏，速度较慢的学生也可以跟上班级的进度。
