A Musical Approach to Tone Teaching in Mandarin

Woo, William

Journal of the Chinese Language Teachers Association, 11, 2, 96-102, May 76

The visual exposure method for teaching tonal modulation can be used in the classroom where aural exposure time cannot be increased. The use of musical notation is a workable technique to begin with, using flashcards. Each flashcard has a character and the musical note that is linked with it. (CFM)
