Ear training

* For those who want to learn about the Web is a inexhaustible source of information: from points to mesh tutorial videos that explain how to play an instrument, you can really indulge. One of the more interesting blog post Violinistivùvùvù dotcoms indicates a range of toys online for ear training and musical memory. For those who sing or play an instrument that needs to be given, this type of training is essential. And the other musicians ... too. Obvious that games like these have their limitations, but it can be nice to beat other ways besides the classical musical dictation.

For heading of music dedicated to Christmas, I propose to you a classic Advent (preferably one follows in the eighth before Christmas): the hymn Veni veni Emmanuel . This is a chant of the French XV century, on a text more ancient, perhaps dating from the eighth or ninth century. There are many versions created from this beautiful melody, especially in Anglo-Saxon countries, where the hymn is very popular (just look at how many versions on YouTube or as O Emmanuel ).

I propose the musical transposition of Zoltan Kodaly (pronounced Kodai, as it reminded me of my demanding teacher of choral singing!), Hungarian composer of the twentieth-century culture truly encyclopedic, that it worked very well in education, especially for choral music (the author of learning system based on speech "do mobile", filmed in Italy by Roberto Goitre). In his version of the ancient melody is covered with new harmonies with the effects of unprecedented beauty. And as for ear training must do well to sing this song ..
