[Menvi-discuss] Special New Link for MENVI Members

[Richard Taesch]

Brunhilde,

I've copied the list here for you. I'm sure that someone there will have
suggestions. There are PHD graduates, students, and educators who will
know what you need, and we are now asking them to respond.

As to the "visual" and Shenkerian Analysis, at times professors forget to
simply ask the students to describe back to them that which they have
asked them to provide; or that which the student has written in music
code.

Post these things to the list, and watch the fun.

Yours,
Richard Taesch
