Students have to know key signatures and chords really well already to make any sense of Aug6 chords, let alone ID and use them fluently. ]]> 2018-02-20 19:25:18 UTC https://padlet.com/snodgrassjs/ofqs14jlz9qa/wish/233471659 https://padlet.com/snodgrassjs/ofqs14jlz9qa/wish/233471665 I would have a very difficult time explaining to students why certain scale degrees have certain "roles" in harmony. It's easy enough to say that "1 is tonic, 5 is dominant, etc" but answering why that is the case is tricky. I was never taught it in depth myself, would be difficult for me to come up with my own explaination.]]> 2018-02-20 19:25:18 UTC https://padlet.com/snodgrassjs/ofqs14jlz9qa/wish/233471665 https://padlet.com/snodgrassjs/ofqs14jlz9qa/wish/233471679 I had a bad experience learning it and found it really difficult to relate all those rules to the music I knew.]]> 2018-02-20 19:25:19 UTC https://padlet.com/snodgrassjs/ofqs14jlz9qa/wish/233471679 https://padlet.com/snodgrassjs/ofqs14jlz9qa/wish/233471810 I don’t like to teach things in a vaccum, I feel like students should develop a relationship with rhythm, tonality, timbre, etc. long before they are taught the “rules” so that it doesn’t just feel like homework.]]> 2018-02-20 19:25:32 UTC https://padlet.com/snodgrassjs/ofqs14jlz9qa/wish/233471810 parkssa1 https://padlet.com/snodgrassjs/ofqs14jlz9qa/wish/233471811 They seem so foreign. I feel like other concepts are things we've been exposed to more frequently (and can easily draw connections). There are also various approaches to recognizing them and some individuals may need more time to grasp some of these more complex concepts]]> 2018-02-20 19:25:32 UTC https://padlet.com/snodgrassjs/ofqs14jlz9qa/wish/233471811 https://padlet.com/snodgrassjs/ofqs14jlz9qa/wish/233472077 It would be difficult to teach counterpoint because many students don't see the relevance and understand why we need to learn it. They often get frustrated with following a set of rules for assignments that the music that they play in their lessons does not follow as strictly. It's difficult to get someone to learn something when they think they will never use it.]]> 2018-02-20 19:25:58 UTC https://padlet.com/snodgrassjs/ofqs14jlz9qa/wish/233472077 https://padlet.com/snodgrassjs/ofqs14jlz9qa/wish/233472079 I don't think I even understand these completely, or ha to make the concept interesting for new students.]]> 2018-02-20 19:25:58 UTC https://padlet.com/snodgrassjs/ofqs14jlz9qa/wish/233472079 https://padlet.com/snodgrassjs/ofqs14jlz9qa/wish/233472086 NCTs are usually ambiguous and don’t have a standard way of recognizing them. They can have more than one answer so intuition and knowledge of function have to be used. Also, there’re many types of them]]> 2018-02-20 19:25:58 UTC https://padlet.com/snodgrassjs/ofqs14jlz9qa/wish/233472086 https://padlet.com/snodgrassjs/ofqs14jlz9qa/wish/233473732 I was never really taught it well and I still don't fully understand it. We spent maybe one day on it.
