1 GRAMMAR, LOGIC, AND RHETORIC: USING THE TRIVIUM MODEL FOR MUSICAL FLUENCY INTERPRETATION Utah Music Teachers Association November, 08 Dr. Kevin Olson Utah State University Artistic Learning: A st -Century Survival Skill Few of us could disagree that today s students must be taught the necessary skills to function in an increasingly complex, conceptual, and globalized st-century society and economy. Students have to acquire socalled habits of mind that will enable them to develop the skills of creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving. In addition, they must be able to communicate effectively, collaborate with people different from themselves, exercise initiative, and be self-directed. Consider the list of skills cited above. Aren t these st-century skills, in reality, arts skills? Bruce Taylor, Director of Education, Washington National Opera or_ep.h0.html
2 Creating the Self-Sufficient Musician The student should be encouraged to think for himself as he learns to listen and consider musical decisions, but should be taught that musical and technical ideas change constantly with growth throughout a lifetime. More than likely, a student would not be able to learn all that a teacher could share with him because a student is not at the point of absorbing all of the details already accomplished by the teacher s life of striving for musical and technical perfection. The student has these years of development to look forward to in his own life and inspiration. Louise Barfield, concert pianist Interpretation Linguisitics: to make sense of a sign or word Music: to get closer to composer s intentions and artistic authenticity through: clues in the score knowledge about musical history and musical styles fluency in musical structures perceptive listening skills healthy self-critique

4 Piano Made FUN for the Young is a young beginner piano curriculum, targeting ages -7! It is especially effective in a group setting, but great for private students as well.! This curriculum offers a variety of learning experiences that address various learning styles \
5 -Young children enjoy lessons that offer a variety of experiences. -A typical Piano Made FUN lesson is meant to be divided into two areas: -During Rug Time, students sit on the floor near the piano and sing songs using the Sing-Along Activity books. These same three books are meant to be used and reviewed throughout the curriculum. During Piano Time, students use the leveled piano books to learn to read and play music at a pace that is steady and comfortable. The beginning of each unit in the piano books, indicates which concepts to cover at Rug Time. There is also a printable lesson guide that can be found at PianoMadeFun.com.
6 The Theory Made FUN Sing-Along book covers concepts such as beat, tempo, dynamics, piano topography, music staff, and intervals. 6
7 -The Counting Made FUN Sing-Along book covers concepts such as note values, rest values, and metric counting. Counting practice pages are provided for consistent re-enforcement. 7
8 The Notes Made FUN Sing-Along book covers the notes on the grand staff, using corresponding animal names to make the learning process more fun and interesting. 8
9 Pre-Reading Made FUN is the Starter piano book and is designed to give students a solid foundation of early musical concepts and piano topography. The black key pieces are written as keyboard pictures, making the music intuitive and easy to read. The white keys are introduced through simple improvisation activities.
