After reading a few posts on only WEEK ONE of the new POTCERT my brain hurts from trying to decipher the different new terms and jargon here.<\/span><\/h2>\n

I am a musician and we certainly have our own special terms and jargon. Here is a brief excerpt from one of my favorite books on musical tunings.<\/span><\/h2>\n
“Each tone is thus comprised of a major and a minor semitone, and as in Tosi’s 55-division, Mozart describes the octave as consisting of “5 tuoni, e 2 semitoni grandi<\/em>.”\u00a0 Attwood himself annotates the table of intervals that includes the enharmonic variations saying, “These tones the Harpsichord has not, but other Instruments have.” The inescapable conclusion is that Mozart differentiated keyboard and non-keyboard tuning, and regarded the standard non-keyboard tuning to include higher flatted notes and lower sharped notes.”<\/span> – How Equal Temperament Ruined Harmony (and Why You Should Care)<\/em>, Ross W. Duffin<\/span><\/h6>\n

\"\"<\/a>Now, I have many glorious geek-filled moments reading Mr. Duffin’s book.\u00a0 And, I remember fondly sitting in my grad study advanced theory and analysis courses feeling elated when my composer\/theory\/musicologist colleagues and I could hear the German augments 6th harmonies creating new and delayed cadences in Beethoven’s music, but I cannot expect my students to have any idea what I or Mr. Duffin is talking about.<\/span><\/h2>\n

Please let us not forget that we are teachers first, right?!? No matter what course in my discipline I teach, I always start by asking the students to define the most basic terms…like the word ‘music’ for instance. We all have preconceived notions about online teaching and learning so why not start there and let the conversation grow.<\/span><\/h2>\n

Please note that I am not criticizing anyone’s specific post. I was just finding myself confused and thought new members might be as well.<\/span><\/h1>\n

I return to my guilty geek pleasure of equal temperament tuning versus just intonation tuning. <\/span><\/h2>\n

Peace<\/span><\/strong><\/h1>\n
