  • Violin Syllabus / 2013 Edition
    VVioliniolin SYLLABUS / 2013 EDITION SYLLABUS EDITION © Copyright 2013 The Frederick Harris Music Co., Limited All Rights Reserved Message from the President The Royal Conservatory of Music was founded in 1886 with the idea that a single institution could bind the people of a nation together with the common thread of shared musical experience. More than a century later, we continue to build and expand on this vision. Today, The Royal Conservatory is recognized in communities across North America for outstanding service to students, teachers, and parents, as well as strict adherence to high academic standards through a variety of activities—teaching, examining, publishing, research, and community outreach. Our students and teachers benefit from a curriculum based on more than 125 years of commitment to the highest pedagogical objectives. The strength of the curriculum is reinforced by the distinguished College of Examiners—a group of fine musicians and teachers who have been carefully selected from across Canada, the United States, and abroad for their demonstrated skill and professionalism. A rigorous examiner apprenticeship program, combined with regular evaluation procedures, ensures consistency and an examination experience of the highest quality for candidates. As you pursue your studies or teach others, you become not only an important partner with The Royal Conservatory in the development of creativity, discipline, and goal- setting, but also an active participant, experiencing the transcendent qualities of music itself. In a society where our day-to-day lives can become rote and routine, the human need to find self-fulfillment and to engage in creative activity has never been more necessary.

    Kieler Beiträge zur Filmmusikforschung, 5.1, 2010 // 69 THE KIDS ARE ALRIGHT Großbritannien 1979 R: Jeff Stein. P: Tony Klinger, Bill Curbishley, Ed Rothkowitz, The Who Films. K: Peter Nevard, A.B. Richmond, Norman Wexler, u.v.m. S: Ed Rothkowitz. T: John Entwistle (musical director). Band: Pete Townshend, Roger Daltry, Keith Moon, John Entwistle. Vertrieb: Brent Walker Film Distributing, New World Pictures, Pioneer Video (DVD). UA: 15.6.1979 (USA), 21.12.1979 (BRD), 30.9.2003 (DVD-Veröffentlichung). 108 min, 1:1,85, Farbe, Dolby, OF (engl.). Die 1970er Jahre galten als Zeit der Katastrophenfilme. Daran angelehnt bewarb die offizielle Pressemappe THE KIDS ARE ALRIGHT als „the world’s first rock’n’roll disaster movie“. Wenn man das Zerschlagen der Gitarren auf offener Bühne (smashing) - The Who waren bekannt dafür, dass besonders Townshend und Moon auf der Bühne regelmäßig ihre Instrumente zerschlugen - denn überhaupt als „Katastrophe“ ansehen will (der Film enthält einige derartige Szenen), so werden doch keine Hochhäuser, Passagierschiffe oder ganze Städte zerstört wie in den Filmen des Genres, sondern nur die Bedingungen des Konzerts selbst. Es ist kein Unglück, mit dem sich die Protagonisten auseinander setzen müssen, sondern ein demonstrativer Akt, ein destruktives Happening [1], das eher einer Scheißegal-Haltung Ausdruck gibt als dass es die Folie abgäbe für eine Bewährungsprobe der Helden, deren moralische Fähigkeiten gemeinhin im Genre erprobt werden und die den Ort des Unglücks meist gereift und gefestigt verlassen. Das ist in den Konzerten von The Who anders. Gleichwohl ist die Musik der Gruppe oft in Zusammenhang mit Szenarien des Weltuntergangs, des umfassenden Sinnverlusts, des Versinkens in Rauschzuständen und ähnlichen Szenarien gebracht worden.

    “These people have learned not from books, but in the fields, in the wood, on the river bank. Their teachers have been the birds themselves, when they sang to them, the sun when it left a glow of crimson behind it at setting, the very trees, and wild herbs.” 2016 BONFILS-STANTON SERIES — Anton Chekhov, “A Day in the Country” PAID Denver, CO Denver, U.S. Postage Non-Profit Org. Permit No. 205 With the support of the Bonfils-Stanton Foundation and in line with the Gardens’ mission of connecting people with plants, we are excited to bring you a lecture and workshop series designed to take us back to our roots, exploring the history, traditions and culture of gardening. You can gain wisdom from gardeners before us, integrating traditional knowledge into the contemporary garden. Botanist, farmer and author Augustus Jenkins Farmer shares HEIRLOOMINARIES stories of traditional gardening techniques – from the charm of sharing plant cuttings with neighbors to intercropping plants to protect integrity of the soil. Bill Laws shares fascinating examples from his book “Fifty Plants that Changed the Course of History,” and Lauren Springer Ogden demonstrates how to incorporate historical knowledge when designing functional, aesthetically pleasing gardens through a tour of her home garden. A parallel series of intimate workshops and tours brings to life the traditions that have painted a romantic picture of gardening. Workshops include growing Rooting Contemporary Gardens in Tradition “blue ribbon” vegetables with Jody Torpey; keeping a garden journal with Bill Laws; and a big bulbs workshop with Augustus Jenkins Farmer. We are excited to offer tours at the Gardens and throughout the region.

  • Consumer Products Tested for Endocrine Disruptors and Asthma-Associated Chemicals
    www.silentspring.org/product-test Silent Spring Institute conducted a study testing comsumer products for 66 endocrine disruptors and asthma-related chemicals. The methods and results, published in Environmental Health Perspectives, can be found here: http://dx.doi.org/10.1289/ehp.1104052. Below is a table of the products tested in this study. This study represents only a small fraction of consumer products and a small number of the chemicals used in products. In addition, since manufacturers are constantly reformulating their products and products may vary in different regions of the U.S, results from these tests may not apply to current products on the shelves. The study combined the conventional products into composite samples for testing, so results for conventional products cannot be linked to a specific product. Alternative products were tested individually.
