Erin R Eddins Mozart Symphonies 39, 40, 41 Performed by The Berlin Philharmonic, conducted by Sir Simon Rattle My first impressions of the conductor held fairly true throughout the performance. Sir Simon Rattle is perhaps the most enigmatic master of the baton I have had the pleasure of watching. This is quite an interesting observation, since he doesn’t use a baton.…
Teaching children to follow the instructions in the song; developing various physical skills, such as tiptoeing, tapping legs in a rhythm, shading eyes, etc. Children would also learn to perform the motions at different speeds, as the song goes backwards in the second half and is sung twice faster.…
I went to observe the preschoolers with Dr. Whitcomb and another student and also got to observe her teaching the children in class. Dr. Whitcomb used activities that involved movement, instrument exploration and call and response to foster basic music competence. Activities like Shake Your Egg were chosen to expose the children to music and get them to do things along with the song. I taught Jack Be Nimble so that the children could get exposure to a meter other than common time. Walk and Stop and Gallop were also a few of the other lessons that were taught to teach things like walking to a steady beat or improvising different movements to songs.…
Nearly two centuries separate two of the greatest pianists of all times; yet Frederic Chopin and Billy Joel have many similarities in their composure of music. The biggest connection among the two is their love for the piano. Not only did they both enjoy playing the piano, it was a way of life for both Chopin and Joel. Chopin, a half-Polish and half-French composer from the Romantic era is known to some as the “prince of the romantics” (Zamoyski). Joel, an American pop musician often referred to by many as the “piano man” (Sandow). Despite the fact these two composers are from different times as well as countries, they do have a number of resemblances.…
On Tuesday the class talked about the following quote," To seek the source, the impulse of a story is like tearing a flower to pieces for wantonness"(Kate Chopin). This quote feels like a spot on description of how a book should be read. I took this quote to mean that when reading a novel, the impulse to understand the climax or hidden meaning in the story is so great that one is practically willing do anything to find the clue that will relieve them of this desire. The noun form of wantonness means a sexually immodest or promiscuous woman. I took the flower in the quote to stand for a promiscuous woman. Upon seeing this type of woman, many men would jump to "tear"(Chopin) at this sort, to simply satisfy their impulse. Similarly when one is at loss as to what a story is trying to reveal, they will will tear apart everything to find…
Tim O’Brien is a person who cannot seem to accomplish things that he really wants to do. The novel The Things They Carried by Tim O’Brien is about the author himself. He is intelligent and thoughtful yet it is difficult for him to move forward towards what he actually wants. The song “Stop and Stare” by One Republic relates to O’Brien greatly with his personality and thoughts in more ways than one. “Stop and Stare” expresses a tone of emptiness, regret, sorrow, nostalgia, fear, and darkness. The story behind it is someone trying hard, trying to be the best, and hopefully getting to where they want to be, not backing down because of what others think.…
Music can increase a person’s knowledge by helping them remember things for a test or for just a fun fact. This is called the Mozart effect. A lot of students all over the world think that music enhances their ability to do better in school. Research shows that listening to sophisticating music can increase the dopamine in the brain. This will increase your knowledge and it will make you feel good in a way(Klemm). Everyone has their own music preference and it’s a good thing that there isn't a certain kind of music you have to listen to to get smarter or to be happy.…
Nursery rhymes help babies because they are copying your actions with their fingers and hands…
The first recommendation for this toddler is to plan enough time for her to participate in the activity. Due to her wanting to take her time and wanting feedback from the teachers, it is recommended that they is enough time for each child to participate on their own in the manner that they wish. The objective that corresponds with this recommendation is that the toddler will use the extra time given in order to move their bodies by running and moving their arms around the room to the music. While referring back to the Omnibus Guidelines text, it is important for young children to have time to express their feelings if they are unable to express them verbally. I have implicated this into my objective by allowing time for toddlers to move their bodies to music to express themselves through creative…

In children, music education is important as it promotes a desire to persevere and succeed, as well as having a whole range of other benefits. There is some evidence to suggest that through involvement with music, children have the opportunity to fine-tune their listening skills and consequently their comprehension. Both skills can be applied to…
