Download or read book Thinking in music with music written by Phyllis Aleta White and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 592 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Music uniquely provides for human beings what cannot be provided in any other way. Affording opportunity for undergraduate education students to express musical identity and experience musical otherness through musical decision making in an e-learning environment propelled the creation of the two courses that became the context for this study. The first course, MUS 339: What's on your playlist? Aesthetic Experiences in Music, invites students to create a negotiated listening curriculum by demonstrating musical understanding through legally edited audio clips from their own library. The second course, MUS 225: Song and songwriting, invites students to demonstrate musical understanding through originally created songs and fragments. In the context of these courses, I used the phrase thinking-in-music-with-music to describe the act of musical decision-making as demonstrated in the creation and editing of musical clips and songs within these online courses. Functioning as a teacher/researcher in these settings from 2009-2011, I gathered 386,224 records of virtual data. Using a qualitative methodology, I analyzed these data for emergent themes. Layered dialogic analysis invited representation inclusive of arts-based and narrative elements. My interpretation of the data revealed that students were indeed able to move toward musical understanding through thinking-in-music-with-music in an e-learning environment. Data analysis further illuminated some ways that students expressed meaning and value through their experiences in these courses, including a recognition that learning about relationships in music can serve as a vehicle toward enhanced understanding of ourselves and others. In this study, aesthetic education underwent its own curricular transformation through the wedding of aesthetic agency, learner agency, and the opportunities made possible for musical thinking and decision making demonstrated and shared in the flexible contexts of virtual classrooms. Through this wedding, music was seen in student experience as a transformational agent in otherness, self, agency, and healing. Thinking-in-music-with-music became a transformative technology functioning as an emancipatory dialogic window into student worlds.

Download or read book Theory and Practice of Technology Based Music Instruction written by Jay Dorfman and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2022-01-28 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Technology is an increasingly popular part of music education in schools that attracts students to school music who might not otherwise be involved. In many teacher preparation programs, music technology is an afterthought that does not receive the same extensive treatment as do traditional areas of music teaching such as band, orchestra, choir, and general music. This book helps to establish a theoretical and practical foundation for how to teach students to use technology as the major means for developing their musicianship. Including discussions of lesson planning, lesson delivery, and assessment, readers will learn how to gain comfort in the music technology lab. Theory and Practice of Technology-Based Music Instruction also includes "profiles of practice" that dive into the experiences of real teachers in music technology classes, their struggles, their successes, and lessons we can learn from both. In this second edition, new profiles feature Teachers of Color who use technology extensively in their varied types of music teaching. This edition encourages readers to think about issues of inequity of social justice in music education technology and how teachers might begin to address those concerns. Also updated are sections about new standards that may guide music education technology practice, about distance and technology-enhanced learning during the global pandemic, and about ways to integrate technology in emerging contexts.

Book excerpt: From Robin Sloan, the New York Times bestselling author of Mr. Penumbra’s 24-Hour Bookstore, comes Sourdough, "a perfect parable for our times" (San Francisco Magazine): a delicious and funny novel about an overworked and under-socialized software engineer discovering a calling and a community as a baker. Named One of the Best Books of the Year by NPR, the San Francisco Chronicle, and Southern Living Lois Clary is a software engineer at General Dexterity, a San Francisco robotics company with world-changing ambitions. She codes all day and collapses at night, her human contact limited to the two brothers who run the neighborhood hole-in-the-wall from which she orders dinner every evening. Then, disaster! Visa issues. The brothers quickly close up shop. But they have one last delivery for Lois: their culture, the sourdough starter used to bake their bread. She must keep it alive, they tell her—feed it daily, play it music, and learn to bake with it. Lois is no baker, but she could use a roommate, even if it is a needy colony of microorganisms. Soon, not only is she eating her own homemade bread, she’s providing loaves to the General Dexterity cafeteria every day. Then the company chef urges her to take her product to the farmer’s market—and a whole new world opens up.

Download or read book Music and the Child written by Natalie Sarrazin and published by . This book was released on 2016-06-14 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Children are inherently musical. They respond to music and learn through music. Music expresses children's identity and heritage, teaches them to belong to a culture, and develops their cognitive well-being and inner self worth. As professional instructors, childcare workers, or students looking forward to a career working with children, we should continuously search for ways to tap into children's natural reservoir of enthusiasm for singing, moving and experimenting with instruments. But how, you might ask? What music is appropriate for the children I'm working with? How can music help inspire a well-rounded child? How do I reach and teach children musically? Most importantly perhaps, how can I incorporate music into a curriculum that marginalizes the arts?This book explores a holistic, artistic, and integrated approach to understanding the developmental connections between music and children. This book guides professionals to work through music, harnessing the processes that underlie music learning, and outlining developmentally appropriate methods to understand the role of music in children's lives through play, games, creativity, and movement. Additionally, the book explores ways of applying music-making to benefit the whole child, i.e., socially, emotionally, physically, cognitively, and linguistically.
