A method
I've developed for some of my teaching employs something called
an "audible score." As a recording plays, the written
music notation for it appears and the particular note or phrase
is highlit on the computer screen: fundamentally, a hightech,
easily manipulable successor to the "bouncing ball."
Apart from being a fun way to encounter music, these audible
scores enable the viewer to develop musical literacy (i.e.,
learn to read music) without having studied a classical instrument.
For examples, visit the Works
page of my Music 111 course,
and click on links to any of the audible scores.
The Instructional
Technology Workshop here at the U. of the South, under
the direction of Vicki Sells and with
the financial underwriting of the Mellon Foundation, was an
indispensable source of support in developing the audible
scores.

I've published on the subject.
