About The Hearing Eye
This book, which assumes little general musical background, is
designed as a comprehensive course book for lower secondary
school students. The main emphasis is on the development of
aural skills and literacy and students are involved in a wide
range of activities - practical, aural, written, vocal and
instrumental. The Hearing Eye series comprises three
interrelated components. The student's book is a workbook into
which students write their answers; the teacher's book contains
all the material of the student's book, with completed answers
and textual commentary; and the musical examples in the
teacher's and student's books are available on a set of 4 CDs. Student's Book:
