| Description |
In music two main teaching methodologies have emerged. One focuses on an ear-based learning method, while the other emphasizes reading notation. Both methods have seen success in producing musicians who are competent and knowledgeable musicians. However, the debate is whether which method is better. My opinions are that neither carries all the benefits that are needed to be a successful musician. Only when both methods are combined containing the best of both methods could a truly well-rounded music student be produced. My masters project was a six-week supplementary beginning band method book, which was aimed toward building a well-rounded musician who has strengths in both methods. My hopes were that by building the student's ear-based learning abilities, while not neglecting music notation a more well-rounded and more successful musician would be created. |
