Classical philosophers knew of and were fascinated by the ability of musicians to replicate a tune at first hearing. Dionysius of Halicarnassus noted that if you play a new tune for an accomplished musician, he will be able to play it back at you with barely any hesitation or preparation (De Comp. 25.241-246). Philosophers' reflections on this phenomenon of the 'knowing ear' had important consequences for ancient understandings of both music and perception. In a time-span corresponding roughly to the fourth century BCE, two critical and related philosophical developments took place: a new understanding of perception emerged, and an explicit theory of music was elaborated. The result of these intertwined events was a conception of the musical ear as a sensual embodiment of rationality: it could analyse and understand musical expression without requiring any supplementary intellectual labour. Sean Gurd tells the story of how this conception came to be, tracing its developments through the works of Plato and Aristoxenus, and offers a critical assessment of the consequences for music theory today.

"Today's music theory instructors face a changing environment, one where the traditional lecture format is in decline. The Routledge Companion to Music Theory Pedagogy addresses this change head-on, featuring battle-tested lesson plans alongside theoretical discussions of music theory curriculum and course design. With the modern student in mind, scholars are developing creative new approaches to teaching music theory, encouraging active student participation within contemporary contexts such as flipped classrooms, music industry programs, and popular music studies. This volume takes a unique approach to provide resources for both the conceptual and pragmatic sides of music theory pedagogy. Each section includes thematic 'anchor' chapters that address key issues, accompanied by short 'topics' chapters offering applied examples that instructors can readily adopt in their own teaching. In eight parts, leading pedagogues from across North America explore how to most effectively teach the core elements of the music theory curriculum: Fundamentals, Rhythm and Meter, Core Curriculum, Aural Skills, Post-Tonal Theory, Form, Popular Music, Who, What, and How We Teach A broad musical repertoire demonstrates formal principles that transcend the Western canon, catering to a diverse student body with diverse musical goals. Reflecting growing interest in the field, and with an emphasis on easy implementation, The Routledge Companion to Music Theory Pedagogy presents strategies and challenges to illustrate and inspire, in a comprehensive resource for all teachers of music theory"--
