Thanks, it always surprises me how positively and graciously the students respond -- JD

Hello,

I thought about tonal recursion in the sense of traversing the scale from C "back to" C, but my voice does not have such a range -- anyway, if my students "feel" that recursion, when executed, is like repetition, that's great, I am trying to get to those "audio learners", and it's a nice break in class -- thanks for the comment, JD

This wasn't as helpful as I hoped.

Brilliant, I don't think most teachers have the guts to do something creative to teach a concept. Great

recursion

As a programmer who has a BM, I will firmly insist that the song provided is not substantively different from repetition. I would expect recursion to follow thus: Begin in a tonal place. Move from said tonal place to another tonal place via the same process. Finally, upon completion of the process, reference all preceding tonal places until you have reached the first tonal place. For tail recursion, simply skip the intermediates and return to the beginning. They lyrics may work though.

This such a niece way to learn the concept of recursion .Thanks

Interesting way of teaching. Certainly would wake up a few people in lectures.
