Reaction:
In her article "Deep Listening to the Musical World" Patricia Shehan Campbell outlines the 3 phrases of musical listening. I felt this song would be good a good candidate this idea of musical listening. While it may not be a song for the beginning listener, it does have many qualities for good, musical listing. I found this piece to be the most relevant for Campbell's second phase of musical listening, Engaged Listening. There are multiple instruments and parts to this song creating a challenge for a good listener. By asking a student to play a long with one of the less predominant parts to this piece of music, the student could learn a great deal. For instance, I had a bit of trouble defining the orchestration of this piece, but by listening closely to one part at a time, I found it easier to identify the different parts. Not only will a student acquire better dictation skills with rhythm, but students will be able to better learn the difference between different musical instruments that may sound quite similar.
