5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent learning tool, June 12, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Why Toes Tap With Seiji Ozawa (Wynton Marsalis On Music Series) [VHS] (VHS Tape)

As a child, I studied music, but I wanted to brush up on my music theory. This video presents classical and jazz music theory in a very accessible way.

Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker Suite and Duke Ellington's arrangement of the same are used to illustrate different aspects of music. Marsalis uses visual aids that tie the music theory to everyday aspects of life.

This is a great video for kids and adults to learn more about the music that they are appreciating.

This book is an excellent teaching resource to be used for middle school music students to help them define and compare rhythms for both classical and jazz idioms.
