Summary of This Method
The acquisitions in A Tempo volume 9 align with the curricula of Cycle 3 Music Theory classes, generally conducted over two years. To support this journey, the work is divided into two complementary series, 9A and 9B, each offered in two separate volumes: "Oral" and "Written." The 9A and 9B series are entirely different in content while addressing similar concepts, allowing for varied materials and renewed exercises according to the class's needs.
In this volume 9A "Oral," you will first find melodies and listening comments. An insert gathers the answer key as well as the corresponding scores, to go beyond simple listening: reading, memorization, and practical application through instrumental performance become true focal points of work. This organization facilitates session preparation and encourages an active approach, where the student progressively builds their references (intonation, phrasing, pulse, articulation) and develops their musical ear.
The volume also offers a set of rhythmic readings, with a deliberately broad range of rhythmic systems, without chronological classification of composers. The selection of excerpts involves varied note values, time signatures, and tempi, to strengthen rhythmic flexibility and ease in diverse musical contexts. These readings can be performed with or without conducting, on an instrument when possible, sung, memorized, and transposed, making it a particularly rich resource for solfège, rhythmic reading, and ear training.
Beyond the excerpts included in the book, teachers and students are encouraged to consult the original scores to extend the study. As in previous volumes, the excerpts of works are numerous to inspire the desire to discover different repertoires, with the inherent limitation of reproduction rights for some 20th-century composers. The claimed pedagogical approach remains clear: to provide students with technical and musical means to achieve true autonomy.
