Question

Note to moderator: Read answerline carefully. Description acceptable. Duncan Lamont wrote a suite for jazz orchestra for this purpose as an alternative to a prior classical piece meant for this purpose. “Farewell to Nationalism” and “The Latin American Spirit” were two of 53 episodes broadcasted on PBS for this purpose between 1958 and 1972. (10[1])Many conservatories offer graduate degrees in a system for this purpose first called the “mother-tongue approach,” (10[1])which is based on (10[1])human language acquisition. In a piece written for this purpose, each instrument (10[2])plays a variation (10[1])on the (-5[1])Rondeau from Purcell’s (10[1])Abdelazer Suite. Ear training and memorization are emphasized in a 10-volume series for this purpose by Shinichi Suzuki, which starts with variations on “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.” For 10 points, orchestras perform family and Young People’s Concerts for what purpose? ■END■ (10[2])

ANSWER: music education [or music pedagogy; accept music appreciation; accept descriptions of teaching music or learning music or learning to how play a musical instrument; accept descriptions of learning how to play specific instruments such as the violin; prompt on Young People’s Concerts or descriptions of concerts for kids or younger audiences but that do not imply they are for an educational purpose; prompt on Suzuki method by asking “what is the purpose of the Suzuki method?”] (Duncan Lamont’s suite is an alternative to Britten’s Young Person’s Guide to the Orchestra.)
