Dr. Eric’s eBook of Songs and Chants including Harmonic Learning Sequence

Most music teachers, after they watch this video, say that they wish they had been taught this way.

These two students audiate these functions in major tonality—I, V7, IV, V7/V, vi, ii, V7/vi, V7/ii—say that they wish they had been taught this way. Well, if my second graders can do it, why shouldn’t you? You absolutely can, but it will take time working on what’s inside this book, simply teaching it to the children, and along the way learning it for yourself. That’s how I did it anyway.

Contained within this book is an exceptional music learning method based in:

• the best science in how children learn music, not in how teachers are taught to teach.
• tens of thousands of hours of deep inquiry and continual application in the classroom.
• a culmination of theory and practice formed after 30+ years of teaching students from diverse backgrounds and experiences.
• an exceptionally wide variety of repertoire that students truly enjoy.
• a fun and innovative sequence of teaching harmonic understanding—Harmonic Learning Sequence—that prepares students with the aural skills they need to create, compose, and improvise music—the most advanced levels of music learning.

This volume incorporates:

• 175 pages of music content: songs, chants, root melodies, using sound files of melodies, root melodies, harmonic functions, and tonal patterns to promote advanced audiation, especially harmonic audiation.
• comprehensive song and chant indexes sorted by title, meter, age appropriateness, and tonality/harmonic function.
