He was an only child, and came from a poor family. But he didn't want to stay and do ordinary work in Odense. He loved singing, storytelling, and the theatre. So at 14, he went to look for more interesting work in Copenhagen. There, the Danish King helped to pay for his education, and he became a writer. Hans Christian Andersen wrote poems, novels, and travel books, but he is most famous today for his many wonderful children's stories. He died in 1875, at a friend's house near Copenhagen, after a bad fall.

  • The Little Match Girl
    The Little Match Girl Strategy: Dyads (pairs) Objectives: 1. The students will learn about a Danish author. 2. The students will learn a famous Western story. 3. The students will practice using their listening skills as the Teacher tells the story. 4. Students will be encouraged to practice their English by memorizing “chunks of English” so that they will begin to have the language in their minds and therefore able to use it more efficiently and correctly in daily encounters. 5. The students will learn correct pronunciation. 6. The students will develop poise and confidence by reciting the story before the class. 7. The students will gain in fluency. 8. The students will increase their vocabulary. ESL Objectives: Pronunciation - result of producing the sounds of speech, including articulation, stress, and intonation, often with reference to the English standard of correctness or acceptability. Pronunciation drills on the following sounds are included: /th/ /l/ /v/ /w/ /short e/ Diction - usually implies a high level of usage; it refers chiefly to the choice of words and their arrangement. This is encouraged when the students make substitutions, vary their tales, or create their own skits. We want to encourage the students to use their English! Vocabulary - learning new words of a foreign language. This includes idiomatic expressions. Fluency - able to speak smoothly, easily, gracefully, and readily. All ESL methods seek to increase fluency. Intonation - the sound pattern of phrases and sentences produced by pitch variation in the voice which distinguishes kinds of sentences of different language cultures. Jazz chants are for the purpose of working on intonation.

  • Maestro Und Manager
    Magazin der Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde in Wien Sept/Okt 2011 Maestro und Manager Ulf Schirmer Nach Jahren der Zurückgezogenheit hat Ulf Schirmer wieder fixe Positionen angenommen – als Chefdirigent der Münchner Rundfunkorchesters und Generalmusikdirektor der Oper Leipzig, deren Intendant er seit kurzem zudem ist. Am 15. Oktober dirigiert der unprätentiöse Künstler am Pult des Wiener Concert-Vereins Schostakowitsch, Schönberg und ein neues Werk von Alfred Huber. In einem Gewerbe, in dem das Außergewöhnliche normal ist, ist Ulf Schirmer offenbar vor allem eins: außergewöhnlich normal. Geerdet, könnte man auch sagen. Das soll nicht heißen, dass der 60-Jährige kein Künstler-Ego besitzt. Selbstverständlich hat er eines. Und natürlich auch die notwendige Durchsetzungskraft und einen großen Gestaltungswillen. Sonst wäre er vermutlich nicht Dirigent, sondern Musiklehrer geworden. Oder Studienleiter statt Generalmusikdirektor und Intendant der Oper Leipzig und zudem Künstlerischer Leiter des Münchner Rundfunkorchesters. Trotzdem macht er im Gespräch einen außergewöhnlich bodenständigen Eindruck, bittet in sein Münchner Büro auf einen Kaffee statt ins Sterne- Restaurant. Keine Hektik, keine Pseudo-Wichtigkeiten. Ulf Schirmer inszeniert sich nicht. Liebe zum Unterhaltsamen Dass er ist, wie er ist, verdankt er vermutlich seinen Wurzeln: Geboren wurde er in Eschenhausen bei Bremen, einem bäuerlich geprägten Dorf, das zu Zeiten seiner Kindheit vielleicht 150 Einwohner hatte und bis heute für Straßennamen zu klein ist. Noch immer gibt es dort lediglich Hausnummern zur Orientierung. „Ländlicher als dort geht’s nicht“, lacht er. Er komme zwar nicht aus einem Musiker-Elternhaus – aus einem musikalischen gleichwohl: Der Vater hatte neben seinem Beruf mit seinen Brüdern noch Tanzmusik gespielt, was im Sohn schon früh eine große Liebe zu jeder Form von Unterhaltungsmusik entstehen ließ.
