. She has disclosed basic intonational patterns of modern post major-minor music (its melodics, new modal scales, chord system, rhythm, etc.) and has developed systematic ways for their study in ear-training courses - from music-school to conservatory level. Karaseva's course combines the best features of the traditional Russian ear-training system with a new investigation into the area of modern

examples, 3d Harmonical Solfeggio), was published in 1996. It is considered one of the most effective practical courses in ear training, and, worldwide, it is the first of its kind. "Modern Solfeggio" has been approved for use throughout the Russian music educational system (colleges and conservatories) for more than 20 years. It has also been used abroad during Karaseva's seminars, master classes and conference papers in the US, Europe and Japan. In 1999, Karaseva took up a Senior Fulbright Scholarship in the United States. Her Fulbright Program research project was entitled "Music Psychotechnology as a New Approach at the Cross-Roads of Sciences: Cognitive
