This essay focuses on the characteristics of corpora drawn from pedagogical materials and contrasts them with the properties of corpora of larger repertoires. Two case studies show pedagogical corpora to contain relatively more chromaticism, and to devote more of their probability mass to low-frequency events. This is likely due to the formatting of and motivation behind classroom materials (for example, focusing proportionately more resources on difficult concepts). I argue that my observations challenge the utility of using pedagogical corpora within research into implicit learning. I also suggest that these datasets are uniquely situated to yield insights into explicit learning, and into how musical traditions are represented in the classroom.

教学语料库的一些方面

本文着重于从教学材料中提取的语料库的特征，并将它们与较大曲目的语料库的特性进行对比。两个案例研究表明，教学语料库包含相对更多的色差，并将更多的概率质量投入到低频事件中。这可能是由于课堂材料的格式和动机（例如，将更多的资源按比例集中在困难的概念上）。我认为我的观察挑战了在研究内隐学习中使用教学语料库的效用。我还建议，这些数据集的位置独特，可以深入了解显性学习，以及音乐传统在课堂上的表现方式。
