À propos de ce contenu audio

 See Eric and Beau's contact information at the end of these Episode Notes.NOTE of CLARITY: When Dr. Eric said no one but his students gets it, he is referring to HLS class participants, not the children, although they "get it" too. Dr. Eric's HLS courses are coming up.Worth repeating because some heavy hitters have said, "If you don't know Harmonic Learning Sequence, you don't know mlt!" Beau and Eric like to differentiated between standardized MLT with the ongoing development of mlt—the original preference Doc (Edwin E. Gordon) had for naming the body of work (almost 200 feet of space on the library shelf!) now most often referred to as Music Learning Theory or MLT.SummaryEric and Beau discussed Eric's Harmonic Learning Sequence course, which focuses on teaching children and adults to recognize harmonic functions through a "yes/no" game. [Yes, this is true, AI, but that’s among a whole gob of other things.] They explored how young children can naturally distinguish between tonic and dominant tones before being able to sing in tune, with Eric sharing his experience of teaching this concept to preschool-aged children. The conversation covered the importance of incorporating harmonic patterns into music education and how this skill can enhance improvisation abilities.Next stepsEric: Offer the Harmonic Learning Series course starting March 3rd and April 17th (noted as ongoing but includes specific upcoming dates)SummaryHarmonic Learning Sequence DevelopmentEric and Beau discussed Eric's teaching experience and the development of his harmonic learning Sequence. Eric shared how he accidentally discovered the concept of harmonic progressions while teaching children about resting tones, leading to the creation of his harmonic learning Sequence. They also briefly touched on Eric's upcoming course and the positive response it has received so far.Eric explained that infants as young as minutes old can distinguish their mother's voice, and by age two or three, children can understand concepts like "nice tones" and "yucky tones." Beau expressed confusion about why this natural ability to recognize harmonic functions wasn't explored more in music education, particularly given Gordon's work on learning sequences and tonal audiation.Teaching Music to ChildrenEric and Beau discussed teaching methods, particularly focusing on Eric's approach to teaching music to children. Eric explained his method of presenting wrong examples before correct ones, which he had developed independently and later realized was similar to principles in direct instruction theory. They discussed how children show when they are ready for more information by reacting to what makes sense or doesn't make sense. Eric emphasized the importance of listening to children and being willing to fail and iterate. He also mentioned his website teachmusictokids.com, where he has an audio example of a 1.5-year-old child learning and singing Yes and No functions.Music Learning Theory DiscussionEric and Beau discussed the relationship between harmonic and tonal audiation in music learning theory. They explored how understanding basic concepts like "yes" and "no" can make it easier to grasp root notes and tonal patterns. Eric shared his experience teaching children and his belief that natural progression in learning, such as crawling before walking, applies to music education as well. They also touched on Eric's challenges with academic politics and his preference for teaching younger students.Infant Music Learning PatternsEric and Beau discussed early childhood music education, focusing on how young children can recognize tonal patterns and harmonic functions before they can speak. Eric explained that infants as young as minutes old can distinguish their mother's voice, and by age two or three, children can understand concepts like "nice tones" and "yucky tones." Beau expressed confusion about why this natural ability to recognize harmonic functions wasn't explored more in music education, particularly given Gordon's work on learning sequences and tonal audiation.Harmonic Aptitude in Young ChildrenBeau and Eric discussed the development of harmonic aptitude in children, with Eric sharing his observations about young children's ability to recognize and respond to tonal and harmonic patterns. Eric noted that even very young children show reactions to unexpected musical endings, suggesting an innate ability to understand harmonic relationships. They debated whether harmonic aptitude might have a shorter developmental window compared to rhythmic or tonal aptitude, with Eric speculating that harmonic aptitude might be more fundamental than other musical aptitudes.Harmonic Aptitude and Brain ActivityEric and Beau discussed the nature of harmonic aptitude and its potential connection to innate abilities, noting that some individuals can excel in music without formal training. They explored the idea of measuring harmonic aptitude in people with limited exposure to...
