The "IndividualizedLanguage Arts: Diagnosis; Prescription, and Evaluation" project (on which this manual is based) was validated in 1973 by the standards and guidelines of the U.S. Office of Educationas innovative, successful, cost-effective, and exportable. As a result of the validation,the project is now funded as a demonstration site by the New Jersey ESEA Title III program. This Project, it is stated,was designed to meet the critical need of educators to developmore effective methods of analyzing students' writing, and to prescribe and apply individualized instructional techniques in order to promotegreater writing facility. The students' writing development is traced by three samples, taken at three intervals during theyear. The __evaluation of the samples, based on commonly acceptedLanguage Arts objectives is considered to pinpoint each student'scurrent strengths and needs. A prescriptive program which is said to emphasize the integration of subject areas is used inn this Project.

  • Ferde Grofé (1892-1972)
    Composer Fact Sheets Ferde Grofé (1892-1972) FAST FACTS • Born into four generations of musicians • Studied piano, viola & composition in Germany • Arranged jazz and popular compositions for dance and jazz big bands • Inspired to write Grand Canyon Suite after watching the sunrise over the Grand Canyon Born: 1892 (New York City, NY) Died: 1972 (Santa Monica, CA) Ferdinand Rudolph von Grofé, or just “Ferde”, was born into four generations of talented musicians. He was born in New York, but his mother later took him to Germany to study piano, viola, and composition. In addition to these, he mastered other string and brass instruments and actually played viola in the Los Angeles Philharmonic. Ferde’s talent on many different instruments led him to try to arrange famous works for the jazz and dance bands he performed with. His successful arrangement of Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue caused him to be noticed by Paul Whiteman, a popular jazz bandleader in the 1920s. In addition to the pieces he arranged, Ferde wrote some of his own. Mississippi: A Journey in Tones , Metropolis: A Fantasie in Blue , and the Grand Canyon Suite paint portraits of the American landscape, much like what Aaron Copland sought to do. Grand Canyon Suite is Ferde’s best-known work. He shared many years after it was written that it was inspired by a road trip he and his friends took from California to Arizona to watch the sun rise over the Grand Canyon. At first, he described, the scenery was very calm and quiet. As the sun began to come up, however, he began to hear all of the noises of nature around him.

  • The Music Relationships of Children Experiencing Homelessness By
    The Music Relationships of Children Experiencing Homelessness By Corrie Box Mitchell A Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy Approved October 2019 by the Graduate Supervisory Committee: Sandra Stauffer, Chair Margaret Schmidt Evan Tobias ARIZONA STATE UNIVERSITY December 2019 ©2019 Corrie Box Mitchell All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT Over a million children who attend American public schools experience homelessness every year. This study investigates the musical lives of children experiencing homelessness through the lens of the ecological systems theory (Bronfenbrenner, 1979). Children encounter music in a variety of ways and develop their own lexicon of meaning that depicts the relationships they have in, through, and around music. Relationship connections in this study were depicted through a system of relationship networks (Neal & Neal, 2013). In this study I present and analyze the cases of nine participants who attended an after-school care program at a homeless shelter for families in the southwestern United States. Participants were 8 to 12 years old and represented diverse ethnicities and genders. Data were gathered over a period of two to eight months, depending on participant, via interviews, music and art making, and observations. Research questions in this study included: What are the relationships, as experienced in, through, and around music, in the lives of children experiencing homelessness; and, What do music experiences tell us about the lives of children experiencing homelessness? Some children experienced fractured music relationships and could not continue to engage with music in comparison to their lives before homelessness. Some children continued to make music regularly before and during their shelter stay.

    Irving Berlin born Israel Isidore Baline Irving Berlin was born in Tyumen, Russia, on May 11, 1888, and immigrated to New York as a child.

Irving Berlin was born Israel Baline on May 11, 1888, in the village of Tyumen, Russia. His family fled to escape the region's persecution of the Jewish community and settled in New York City in the mid-1890s. As a teen, Baline worked as a street singer, and by 1906 he had become a singing waiter in Chinatown. His first published tune was 1907's "Marie From Sunny Italy," with Nick Nicholson penning the music. As the lyricist, Baline's name was misspelled as "I. Berlin" on the sheet music. He decided to keep the name, becoming Irving Berlin • He group up in a home in lower Manhattan where Yiddish was the primary language spoken in the home • Most of his compositions were written using the 32-bar American Song Form Having a similar cultural background and upbringing, he served as a role model to both Ira and George Gershwin Musical Example: – Cheek to Cheek YIDDISH THEATRE & TIN PAN ALLEY INFLUENCES • George grew up around the Yiddish Theater District • They frequented the local Yiddish theaters, with George occasionally appearing onstage as an extra • At the age of 15, Gershwin found his first job as a "song plugger" for Jerome H.
