Yeah, I just don't want to get involved any further and regretted my participation at all, which is why I removed it. Thanks all for understanding.

Scott, aren't you a law prof (not a musicologist or scientist)? What exactly are your stakes in this anyway?

Pop music does this a lot but then you probably wouldn't call it V/V. "Total Eclipse of the Heart" by Bonnie Tyler, in the chorus. "Givin off spaaarks / I really need you tonight" "Hungry like the Wolf" by Duran Duran, also in the chorus "With a Lit…

Antares—probably true! HC is a little notification-heavy by default. Each user may also just want to set their own notification preferences so they don't get so many messages. Hover over your profile photo > Settings > Email.

Hi John, and others! Be on the lookout for the next issue of Engaging Students where I will have an article describing this in more detail, and other people like Andrew Gades and Crystal Peebles I believe also describe their modular approaches, chal…

Thanks for these important points. I just wanted to add the official SMT Policy on Interview Rooms at the Annual Meeting Hotel (which I only knew about because I've been migrating content over to the new website): The Society for Music Theory d…

Carla, maybe this recent article and its bibliography will help you: Laurel Parsons, "Dyslexia and Post-Secondary Aural Skills Instruction." http://www.mtosmt.org/issues/mto.15.21.4/mto.15.21.4.parsons.html

Whoops—I just saw that you are using the 8th edition, which I didn't know was an entirely different thing, so my prior comment is actually not relevant. What a shame this is! Maybe you could continue to use the 7th edition anyway? Sorry I wasn't muc…

I don't know about Connect. I used to teach out of Kostka/Payne, but have moved to a new school that does not use it. But I think I can still help you. The CD has audio examples for the textbook only. To my knowledge, students had always been requ…

Thanks Trevor, this is really interesting. I want to second your call for shorter paper slots. Here's another related thought: Texas SMT gives feedback to the authors of all their rejected proposals, I recently found out, and I very much appreciated…

I don't, but am I understanding right that the author says "2008 is the first time this happens" but then says "Zappa also did it"? Or is the implication that Zappa is not rock (certainly an argument), in which case I'm confused by the inclusion of …

I don't know of such a thing; I just wanted to chime in and say what a GREAT idea this would be!
