Interactive Music Listening

One of the most engaging activities for the curious music student is some sort of interactive music listening in which someone (or something) keeps you as a listener 'on track' as the music is playing. The Carnegie Hall Education Foundation has long been a leader in developing web materials designed to do this. Here is another in their long list of accomplishments: A listener guide to Dvorak's 9th Symphony, usually referred to as the 'New World' Symphony. It was written during and after Dvorak spent a summer in the US, and includes come musical references to things he heard while here in the States. It's full of famous, exciting, and beautiful themes. Here's the link to your musical adventure:
