Though the teaching of aural skills is one of the most important
tasks facing the college-level music educator, it is often one of
the most problematic, sometimes the most feared. Some of this
apprehension undoubtedly arises from the lack of effective
pedagogical tools that can reliably and more completely address the
needs of the discipline. Functional Hearing fills this void with
its unique method of comprehensive ear training. This book not only
presents melodies for dictation and sight-singing, but also
instructs students in how to develop the skills and strategies to
hear and sight-sing unfamiliar music. In addition to presenting
harmonic and rhythmic dictations, students are also shown how to
listen and use their theoretical knowledge to comprehend the
harmonic and rhythmic contexts in which they are listening. The
book is divided into seven areas which include: Hearing the
Essential Elements of Music; Hearing Quality, Function, and
Inversion in Triads; Hearing Quality, Function, and Inversion in
Seventh Chords; Hearing Secondary Functions and Modulations;
Hearing and Performing in Multiple Parts; Hearing Chromaticism; and
Hearing in Nonfunctional Contexts. Together, they incorporate
unique and groundbreaking ways to train the ears of developing
musicians and to encourage them to acquire a high level of aural
skill. Functional Hearing is intended to be used in any aural
skills sequence lasting from two to seven semesters, or as a
companion text in most traditional courses in music theory. The
corresponding Instructor's Manual is available free upon request
(1-880157-58-6).
