Hello Everyone!
My professor didn't recommend an article, she recommended a series of posters she saw at a convention for music ed.
because of this, I thought I would cite a book that I would probably include in my paper. I'm hoping to do my paper on strategies for teaching 20th century harmonic practices to young children in general music education settings.
So I figured I would cite a book about 20th century harmony which I would be refering to quite a bit
Persichetti, Vincent.Twentieth Century Harmony: Creative Aspects and Practice. New York, W.W. Norton & Company. Print
This book is viewed by Dr. Ferguson, as well as several other music faculty members, as the book to use to understand 20th century harmonic practices. The great thing about this book is that as well as explaining each harmonic and compositional technique, the author also gives exercises at the end of each chapter. This is excellant because it gives students a chance to both review the concepts and also practice them. another great thing about this book is that relatively little training in "Common Practice (roughly 1750-1850)" music theory is required. Because of this, I feel this book demonstrates that it may be easier to teach 20th century harmonic practices to children rather than harmonic practices before the 20th century.
