I'm mostly concerned with working with children as a Kodaly trained music educator, and having written a thesis on the pedagogy of just intonation in choral music, work a lot in very subtle ways with intonation exercises with children from 3 years old, with singing games based on pure intonation of falling minor thirds (easiest to sing purely at that age) and with my older children in a special music program at a primary school where the children have daily music classes, building triads in ways that allow them to hear the overtones and tune to each other. All very practical, although I have interest in the philosophical domain as well (part of my thesis was a history of ideas about tuning) I don't contribute a lot these days, as I am also training as a psychotherapist and researching new psychologicala domains and very busy!!!! One thing I am not, is a composer, and also not so interested in the instrumental as the vocal domain of music making. >From a woman...
