Musical Autodidacticism

One of the artifacts in the Bowie show was the 1955 edition of the Oxford Companion to Music, that he used to learn how to score music. I had the idea years ago that an interesting way to teach music would be to have the student pick a topic at random in the book and investigate it for 6 weeks. If you want to learn something, you can do it yourself, and you won't have to be pushed, and you would have learned something that you could apply immediately.
