_____________ My thoughts have been preoccupied with an important question for a significant period, and I now find myself with ample time to carefully contemplate it and commit it to writing. It has come to my attention that there is a perspective advocating for the use of an ‘original sheet music’—or more precisely, scores initially published by their respective publishers—in music theory textbooks and practice workbooks, particularly those that pose examination-style questions or contain entrance mock tests. Proponents of this approach argue that it highlights the authenticity of musical notations and showcases the artistry of music score editing, rather than depending on reproductions that have been re-edited by the textbook publisher. This assumption and statement (purportedly allowing readers to view the original version of the score) are both somewhat perplexing. Firstly, we will examine the musical examples employed in most classical music theory analyses throughout this articl...
每次暑假我都會反覆分享之前 推薦學生的三本讀物 ，今年覺得應該換個口味。昨天隨手翻閱《Music Theory 101》這本清晰易懂的樂理書，我覺得考生們（國高中音樂班適用）可以進行簡單的暑假學習規劃！ 為什麼要讀英文音樂書籍？ 想想這些現實考量： 大學課程雙語化：現在很多大學音樂系不少課程會採用英語授課（如清大音樂系音樂史即是全英），至少國高中階段要有基本準備，熟悉常見的 音樂英文用語 未來留學準備：若大學（甚至碩、博士）要出國念書，很多基礎的音樂英文溝通，透過平常閱讀就可以累積 學術報告需求：國高中很多老師會要求小組報告，如果有基本英文能力，就可以初探外文來源，不會只依賴中文部落格 實用的英文樂理閱讀策略 第一步：選擇合適的起點 先挑選目前學校課程進度，「從頭讀很容易放棄」，因為感覺整本永遠讀不完。例如現在在教調式，那就直接進入本書Modal Scales篇章。 第二步：分層閱讀 以下用書中的範例來示範： Ionian is the first mode to learn about, and you already know it. The Ionian scale is simply the major scale . It follows the interval pattern WWHWWWH. The following figure shows an F Ionian mode . Since the Ionian mode is simply the traditional major scale , think of Ionian as the proper name for a major scale . 第一次速讀：目光只掃描最重要的關鍵字 Ionian （艾奧尼安調式） mode （調式） major scale （大調音階） interval pattern （音程模式） 第二次速讀：眼睛特別留意「主詞+動詞」結構 Ionian is... Ionian scale is... It follows... Figure shows... 第三次速讀：腦袋精簡過濾全部語句 Ionian is the first mode to learn about → Ionian is first The Ionian ...
