I just read the next bit of the article entitled 'Baa Baa'. As Bagpuss will know (!) I am receiving some tutoring from an extremely fine musician whose outstanding playing sells well the amazing benefits of working things out by ear. I have been frantically incorporating these techniques into all my lessons recently and the other day I asked a young student to pick out on the piano the tune to 'Baa baa black sheep' and practise it at home so she could play it to me with ease the following lesson. It was only some time later that evening I thought - oops - as the little girl is of mixed race. I don't even notice her skin colour so why would I think to avoid nursery rhymes that could be seen as racist? Thank God her parents were sensible - they thought nothing of it at all and obviously fully supported the task I had set their daughter as she played 'Baa baa' beautifully at the first attempt!

Surely the term "baa" is being sheep-ist????

Well, it's certainly being barbarianist. I mean, that's where the ancient Greeks derived the word 'barbarian' from. Those foreigners who went around speaking in their strange language which sounded like the baa-baa-baa bleating of sheep.

Hi All.....

Thank you for your replies and sorry it has taken me so long to reply! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I was actually in one of my MA Lectures last week discussing the Psychology of Music when your Music Handbook came up Cyrilla; people spent 10mins talking about how wonderful it is, and someone may be bringing it in next week for us all to look at! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I also found this resource; a video of it was played in the MA class as part of a research project; what does everyone think of it?

http://www.musicmindgames.com/

Is it worth getting?

I have Music Mind Games and I love it! It has very interesting and fun ways to approach learning music theory from children from Kindergarten to much older. I use lots of the games in different ways in my piano teaching as well as in group theory lessons. She uses a lot of resources which are for sale on her website, but I just made my own as I couldn't afford them.

However I do think that the Kodaly approach is more appropriate for younger kids.

If you can stretch to getting Music Mind Games and the Music Handbook you will have LOADS to keep you busy!

I have just tried the one online game they have on this site - notes and rests solitaire and found it REALLY HARD: It claims that unlike ordinary Solitaire you win every time - I've had three goes and haven't won at all and got lots of nasty noises when I got it wrong! I don't think I'll recommend it to my pupils!

Your comments ring a very loud bell Sue - I think I tried this some time ago and thought it was not user friendly - had a couple of goes and decided I had misunderstood the instructions.
