Use of early versions by Music Educators

Italian Music Educator Professor Lelio Camileri, UK Music Educator Dr Patricia Howard, and Composer Nigel Morgan have reported on a wide variety of musical uses of prototype versions as an aid to composition, a pointer to harmonic theory, and as an analytical tool, using wide-ranging repertoire from Rameau and Correlli, through Bach and Mozart, to Duke Ellington, John Coltrane, Stevie Wonder, and others.
  • Nigel Morgan, Composer and Music Educator, used an early version of Harmony Space at Denbigh School, Milton Keynes in 1996 to teach Jazz harmony to three key stage 4 classes.
  • Dr Patricia Howard, Music Department, Open University, used an early version of Harmony Space at OU Music Summer School 1994, for teaching beginners to harmonize Bach chorales “on the fly”.
