EDPS PRILF MF-$0.76 HC-$1.95 PLUS POSTAGE DESCBTPTOPS *Alternative Schools; Preservice Education; Public School Systems; *Teacher Interns IDENTIFIEPS *Distinguished Achievement Awards Entry ABSTBACT As public school districts have begun to develop optional alternative schools, a common concern has been where to find trained teachers to staff the schools. For the past four years Indiana University has worked closely with several of these school districts in developiLg a field-based teacher education program to prepare new teachers for these schools. The studentwill spend two summers on graduate course work, with the time inbetween spen'... as an intern in an alternative public school. By the time the program is completed, teachers will have demonstrated their ability to do the following:(a) conceptualize the kind of teachers they want to become and develop and complete a program of self-development designed to move thet toward that, (I)? develop a comprehensive rationale for alternative education and be able to describe and critique the types of alternatives in operation today, (c) obtain a field internship, (d) complete an internship in an alternative public school, (e) create and implement a new educational component for the public school district in which they are interning,(f) participate in the professional development of future interns, and (g) obtain a position in public education. The program also has a number of important objectives related to creating and maintaining new alternative schools and programs.(A list of cooperating public schools, an illustration of a field-based center, a program description, and an external program evaluation are included.)

  • EXPLORING MUSIC with Bill Mcglaughlin Broadcast Schedule – Spring 2020
    EXPLORING MUSIC with Bill McGlaughlin Broadcast Schedule – Spring 2020 PROGRAM #: EXP 20-27 RELEASE: Week of April 6, 2020 Wagner's Ring Cycle For most operas, a five-hour survey would more than cover every measure, every note – but not this one, Wagner’s crowning achievement. Bill helps us understand and enjoy this long and fanciful journey, with richly textured music that continues to grow in complexity as the operas proceed. Wagner spent a quarter of a century writing the libretto and composing the music that follows the dramatic struggles of gods, heroes, and mythical creatures. We will listen to orchestral preludes, arias, and more from The Rhinegold, The Valkyrie, Siegfried, and Twilight of the Gods. PROGRAM #: EXP 20-28 RELEASE: Week of April 13, 2020 Mendelssohn, Schumann & Brahms String Quartets This week we focus on one of the most delightful and storied chapters of the string quartet's history, centering around the works of three romantic composers—Mendelssohn, Schumann, and Brahms. After 50 years of fantastic string quartets from Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, and Schubert, the well seemed to be drying up—young composers just weren’t writing string quartets. Operas and piano pieces, yes, but not string quartets, and then to save the day steps in Mendelssohn, Schumann, and Brahms! Bill starts the week off with the double quartet (octet) from 16-year-old Felix Mendelssohn. Felix’s sister, Fanny Mendelssohn, said she felt that she was lightly carried up in the air with this string octet. PROGRAM #: EXP 20- 29 RELEASE: Week of April 20, 2020 Music from the Magic Box — An Excess of Pleasure What happens when your favorite classical music radio host tackles spring cleaning? We reap the benefits of his discoveries! Bill was digging deep into the back of his hall closet when he spied a mysterio us box.

  • A Multimodal Way of Experiencing and Exploring Music
    INTERDISCIPLINARY SCIENCE REVIEWS, Vol. 35 No. 2, June, 2010, 138–53 A Multimodal Way of Experiencing and Exploring Music Meinard Müller and Verena Konz Saarland University and MPI Informatik, Saarbrücken, Germany Michael Clausen, Sebastian Ewert and Christian Fremerey Department of Computer Science, Bonn University, Germany Significant digitization efforts have resulted in large multimodal music collections, which comprise music-related documents of various types and formats including text, symbolic data, audio, image, and video. The chal- lenge is to organize, understand, and search musical content in a robust, efficient, and intelligent manner. Key issues concern the development of methods for analysing, correlating, and annotating the available multimodal material, thus identifying and establishing semantic relationships across various music representations and formats. Here, one important task is referred to as music synchronization, which aims at identifying and linking semantically corresponding events present in different versions of the same underlying musical work. In this paper, we give an introduction to music synchronization and show how synchronization techniques can be integra- ted into novel user interfaces that allow music lovers and researchers to access and explore music in all its different facets thus enhancing human involvement with music and deepening music understanding. keywords Synchronization, Alignment, Multimodality, User interfaces Introduction The last years have seen increasing efforts in building up comprehensive digital music collections, which contain large amounts of textual, visual, and audio data as well as a variety of associated data representations. In particular for Western classical music, three prominent examples of digitally available types of music representations are sheet music (available as digital images), symbolic score data (e.g., in the MusicXML, LilyPond, or MIDI format), and audio recordings (e.g., given as WAV or MP3).

    Topics in Cognitive Science 4 (2012) 668–677 Copyright Ó 2012 Cognitive Science Society, Inc. All rights reserved. ISSN: 1756-8757 print / 1756-8765 online DOI: 10.1111/j.1756-8765.2012.01216.x Cognitive Science and the Cultural Nature of Music Ian Cross Faculty of Music, University of Cambridge Received 5 September 2010; received in revised form 8 June 2012; accepted 8 June 2012 Abstract The vast majority of experimental studies of music to date have explored music in terms of the processes involved in the perception and cognition of complex sonic patterns that can elicit emotion. This paper argues that this conception of music is at odds both with recent Western musical scholar- ship and with ethnomusicological models, and that it presents a partial and culture-specific represen- tation of what may be a generic human capacity. It argues that the cognitive sciences must actively engage with the problems of exploring music as manifested and conceived in the broad spectrum of world cultures, not only to elucidate the diversity of music in mind but also to identify potential commonalities that could illuminate the relationships between music and other domains of thought and behavior. Keywords: Music; Learning; Processing; Ethnomusicology; Culture 1. The cognitive science and neuroscience of music The study of music learning and processing seems to present a rich set of complex chal- lenges in the auditory domain, drawing on psychoacoustic, perceptual, cognitive, and neuro- scientific approaches. Music appears to manifest itself as complex and time-ordered sequences of sonic events varying in pitch, loudness, and timbre that are capable of eliciting emotion.

    EXPLORING MUSIC with Bill McGlaughlin Broadcast Schedule – Winter 2020 PROGRAM #: EXP 20-14 RELEASE: Week of January 6, 2020 Beethoven and the Piano Beethoven and the Piano – 200 years after the composition of Beethoven’s five Piano Concertos, they’re still the giants of the piano world. Join us for a concerto a day, plus some of his more intimate works for the instrument. Leon Fleisher, Murray Perahia, and Martha Argerich are a few of the prominent pianist that we will hear from this week. PROGRAM #: EXP 20-15 RELEASE: Week of January 13, 2020 André Previn: German born American composer, conductor, and pianist (1929-2019) By age 20, Andre Previn was successfully composing for Hollywood and playing the piano in Jazz clubs. Soon after winning one of his many Academy Awards, for “My Fair Lady”, Previn released a highly acclaimed jazz album based on the popular songs from this Oscar winning movie. In the 1960s, at the top of his jazz and film composing career, he transformed his profession to include classical music. Previn is known for his open approach to blending the musical worlds of classical, pop, film, theater, and jazz. This week we will listen to recordings from his long career with the London Symphony, hear his brilliant piano playing, his film scores, and sample an aria or two from one of his operas. PROGRAM #: EXP 20-16 RELEASE: Week of January 20, 2020 Claude Debussy Claude Debussy, who once said he learned more from poets and painters than from the music conservatory, is considered the figurehead of Impressionist music (though he would vehemently argue against it).

    EXPLORING MUSIC with Bill McGlaughlin Broadcast Schedule – Summer 2019 PROGRAM #: EXP 19-40 RELEASE: Week of June 24, 2019 Ports of Call, Part II This week Exploring Music continues traveling with composers around the world. Listen to them express the sounds of their native land and paint musical pictures of their travels. We will hear music of homesick George Gershwin in Paris, Charles Ives floating down the Housatonic River in the Berkshire Mountains of Massachusetts, and Ella Fitzgerald and her friends on the “A” train in New York City. PROGRAM #: EXP 19-41 RELEASE: Week of July 1, 2019 Arias and Barcarolles Taking a cue from President Eisenhower's famous remark to Leonard Bernstein, “… I like music with a theme, not all them arias and barcarolles." This week is a sampling of arias, overtures, barcarolles, and other melodic delights that deserve more time on the airwaves. Bill will spin tunes like Lawrence Welk’s “Bubbles in the Wine” and Fred Waring and his Pennsylvanians performing Jerome Kern’s “Smoke Gets in Your Eyes.” This is a week to just sit back and enjoy. PROGRAM #: EXP 19-42 RELEASE: Week of July 8, 2019 Hector Berlioz Louis-Hector Berlioz (1803-69) wrote that “Beethoven opened before me a new world of music, as Shakespeare had revealed a new universe of poetry.” Bill covers the arc of Berlioz’s life and music, from leaving medical school in Paris to attend the opera and studying at the Paris Conservatory, then being a model of the Romantic movement. This week’s fifth episode features the last two movements of Symphonie Fantastique, displaying Berlioz's gift for spectacular drama and concludes with an excerpt from his setting of “La Marseillaise,” the French national anthem.
