"One of the fresher approaches to introducing musical concepts, with thereader/student prompted and guided in being creative. The use of the computerprogram in conjunction with the book and audio CD is well done and commendable.I will recommend this to many of my composition students."--Steven L. Rosenhaus,New York University, School of Education, Advance praise for Impromptu: From the Foreword by Evan Ziporyn, Massachusetts Institute of Technology: "The games and exercises provided by the Impromptu software are nothing more or less than exercises in self-knowledge....The program is built on musical 'simples,' Bamberger's term for the children's songs, common rhythms, etc., which are our musical common denominators and the building blocks of musical thought. The program is methodically organized around explorations of the ways in which music is organized: melodic structure, rhythm, and meter. Each set of tasks is designed to be of interest to any musical thinker, from the concertmaster to the grade-schooler. The reason for this is the essential lesson of Bamberger's work: that the depth of our musical thought is not related to the scope of our musical knowledge. We are all musical thinkers, although we use a variety of mental tools to do the work. "You can verify this statement simply by attending to your own thought processes as you work through the book. As you do, questions will continually emerge: Why does this version of this song sound better than that one? Why does this one feel more regular? These questions lead to more questions, and suddenly you realize that tunes you have known one's whole life-tunes that never seemed even remotely interesting-are endlessly fascinating and explorable.", "One of the fresher approaches to introducing musical concepts, with the reader/student prompted and guided in being creative.
