Hard To Teach - Secondary Music (video)
http://www.teachers.tv/video/5464
Hard To Teach - Secondary Music
Karin Greenhead from the Royal Northern College of Music demonstrates how Dalcroze eurythmics can be used to help music students incorporate expression into their playing.
Greenhead, an internationally recognized expert in the Dalcroze approach, teaches at the Royal Northern College of Music.
She explains how Dalcroze methods - which associate gesture and movement with phrasing and intonation - can help students learn the principles of rhythm, notation and improvisation.

Every entry can be edited by anybody. An entry can contain a bit of sheet music, a MIDI file, textual information about the work and the composer, and last but not least the Parsons Code, a rough description of the melodic contour.

Hong Kong Symphony: Heaven, Earth, Mankind
http://www.ovationtv.com/artszone/teachers/hongkong.html
Hong Kong Symphony: Heaven, Earth, Mankind touches on an unusually broad spectrum of issues both creative and political. Thus the film can be a springboard for wider discussion of several topics: the techniques of filmmaking; music -- classical and otherwise -- that is connected to politics; the history of the British takeover of Hong Kong in the last century, and reunification in 1997; colonialism in general; and the difference between the capitalistic and Communist systems.
Objectives :
- For students to practice musical skills and create a collaborative work similar to the one documented in the film
- For students to understand something of the history of the Opium Wars, the British takeover, and the push for reunification;
- To understand the basic film technique of montage, and how it can be used to tell a story;
- To understand the potential problems Hong Kong may have after reunification.
