We have several students who are learning to read music, and all the requisite aspects of becoming a music major at University level, who have large gaps in their musical education. There is little systematic music taught in schools across this country, and those who are teaching music, are mostly untrained.
I'm interested in using audiation as an evaluation tool. I believe that students with better audiation capabilities will do better in classes such as analysis, sight singing, dictation, improvisation, applied music studies etc.
If you have used either of these instruments, please advise; can I use the primary instrument with students of 17+ years? Thanks
Use primary test of audition(i.e. A short performance to decide whether they are suitable). Draw up your checklist for assessment and include open - ended questions for your respondents to cover the missing gaps on your objectives.
I agree with Diana Wilson on the use of Intermediate test of audiation. The situation of the study of music in Nigeria is quite the experience of Wilson. Institutions like the Delta State University, Abraka and the University of Nigeria, Nsukka have long practised this mode of test for admission of students and it has proved very effective. Music is basically aural and all basic musicianship depends on it.
