The main thing in this section is a paper I finished in January, 1997 on the methods. The initial impetus for this was a short submission from a theory prof at the University of Toronto, who vigorously and, in my view, erroneously defended fixed-do. I hope this essay of mine will make clear not only the ins and outs of the two systems, but will also give people a more critical sense of what is being taught, and how important it is that you have your eyes open when you are looking for a teacher. If, after reading this (or even before), you would like to let me know your personal experiences in ear-training, I would be very interested to hear from you. In particular, I would like to know where you studied, and what method and books you used, or are using. And also how you were evaluated. |
