I'd suggest Charles Ives as a bridge. He mixes chords to cause exciting dissonances. Take a look at his organ arrangement of "America." It's wild and crazy and dissonant and wonderful. Better still, find some concert in which it's being performed live on a monster organ. Ives' "America" is about as exciting as the grand finale of Respighi's Pines of Rome. I'd say once Ives' music is palatable and enjoyable to you, then it's easier to listen to atonal arrangements. You've rescrewed on your ears by then through Ives.

I was thinking about kids singing, and whether or not teaching them solfege was going to train their ears too much to "Western Harmony".

J - Whaddya doin with sediment in your mouth anywho? cc - Por que no Yago Sangria? etaoin - It's not about teaching them to sing in tune (good luck with that), it's about intervalic recognition and balancing mindless (did I say that?) repetition with an even exposure to all of the available tonal combinations. Paul Hindemith has an excellent ear training study guide! The word tonality as western music uses it is a misnomer. Now that I think of it, it reminds me of that "f" word.
