Rothstein penetrates this really well I think in his book 'Emblems of the Mind'. Many music primers teach kids 'notes', introducing one at a time, but much more effective is to teach shapes.<BR/><BR/>Many composers will say they 'hear' a piece of music all at once.

Also get this with books have read stuff that I can't really understand until certain moments in life happen then you get a realisation a sort of over view of what the author was trying to tell you.Unfortunately my light hasn't come on in the fraction room I don't understand how it can be amusing yet?katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13430890862963773784noreply@blogger.com
