Perhaps the materials and their order might be rearranged based on age levels. Also, a list of listening materials that correspond to each and every lesson might be adviseable. Most important is the real time singing of intervals, perhaps a new interval each and every lesson. Further lessons would allow for review. Playing and composing need not be excluded as higher level skills: tunes and harmonies experienced all would have more emotional impact. Emotional memory is supposed to be the strongest form of memory we have.
