You asked for it . . .

And now it’s available on CD-ROM. The Discovering Music Teacher’s Manual gives you a syllabus, unit-by-unit course plan, four comprehensive exams with answer keys, and a new detailed listening plan.

See sample pages here.

Highlights:

Exams designed for high-school students using the course for high-school credit. They include short-answer, fill-in-the-blank, and essay questions covering Units 1-6, 7-10, 11-14, and 15-17.
A useful chart laying out the listening assignments for each session of the comprehensive Listening Plan. This allows the student to get to know the musical selections included with the course more deeply. The plan takes students through multiple hearings of each work with specific questions or tasks associated with each session.
A reproducable form to allow students to track their individual progress through each musical selection.

The CD-ROM is $12.95 and you can order yours here.

And Then There's This . . .

Vince Bielski, When Classical Learning Meets Public Education the Dialogue Isn’t Always Socratic. “Classical education, whose name gained traction in the 1980s to evoke the movement’s focus on liberal arts and the Western canon, is struggling to overcome local political opposition.”

Peter Wood, After College: The Coming Cultural Collapse of Higher Education. “Students graduate with a veneer of knowledge rather than a core. An increasingly obsolescent institution has wedded itself to an increasingly noisome cultural stance.”

Anthony Esolen, Heap Songs Upon Their Heads. “We are the most beauty-starved people, I am persuaded, who have ever trod the earth.”

Gregory Wolfe, The Wound of Beauty. “The time has come to bring beauty back, to give it the glass slipper and invite it to the prom.”
