eMedia & Ancillaries for Instructors
Student Recordings CD-ROM
The Instructor’s Dictation Manual provides professors with printed scores for the dictation, transcription, and other listening exercises on the Recordings CD-ROM. These printed examples are made available so that teachers can easily check their students’ listening assignments, play the examples at the piano in class, or review the examples prior to assigning them. In each chapter, additional printed dictation examples not on the CD-ROM are provided so that instructors may use them for testing or extra practice.
Instructors’s CD-ROM: An Anthology Search Disc
Recognizing instructors and schools follow a wide variety of curricula in aural skills, Richard Kram and Gary S. Karpinski have developed an Instructor’s CD-ROM that enables teachers to find the most appropriate excerpts in the Anthology for any part of any curriculum. With a few simple clicks of a mouse, a teacher can search for just the right excerpts based on dozens of criteria, including key, meter, clef, mode, scale degree, interval, chord, and other salient features, reordering the excerpts in the Anthology to fit any course of study. In addition, because students learn at different rates and have different strengths and weaknesses, the software enables instructors to provide suggestions for individualized drill and practice.
Norton Interactive Aural Skills
This software instructs and assists students in the process of musical dictation of single-line melodies and harmonic exercises in the form of SATB chorales. Norton Interactive Aural Skills (NIAS) plays the musical exercises in their entirety or in a variety of partial and comparative formats. After listening to the examples, students then complete the exercises on staff paper. The program features helpful hints that supply partial or complete information and guidance for each exercise. Students can work at their own pace, checking their answers along the way. The program generates progress reports that can be viewed and printed for instructors.
