EVENT: Workshop in Teaching Tonal Theory at the End of the 20th Century HOST: Southern Methodist University (February 21-22, 1997) Syracuse University (May 16-17, 1997) Northwestern University (July 11-12, 1997) DATE: February 21-22, 1997 (SMU); May 16-17, 1997 (SU); July 11-12, 1997 (NU) DESCRIPTION: John Buccheri of Northwestern University will present a two-day workshop to introduce teachers to techniques for the development of students' score analysis skills and for the enhancement of aural imaginations. The workshop is recommended for teachers of freshman and sophomore theory, rudiments, or fundamentals, for graduate students who anticipate teaching basic theory, and for private studio instructors. Participants will learn techniques to inspire confidence among students who feel inadequate in analysis; develop the students' analytical facility; equip students to maintain skills through self-study; and make more accessible the subtleties of tonal movement as represented in score. The workshop will introduce routines for the rapid scanning of score for information about tonal operations; the mental rehearsal of sound and notational patterns which facilitate analytical reading and music memory; strategies to motivate student learning; the integration of new techniques into traditional course formats; and the demonstration of computerized score anthology and mental rehearsal programs.
