Music Resources:

  • This resource I picked up at a PD session the other day on ICT in music education.The URL will take you to SCOOTLE and then to wide a range of websites for classroom music making/games/and interactive exploration with sounds. Just click on the arrow which comes up on the right hand side to get to the next one.

  • This site posterous.com was a very easy site to navigate and has various privacy settings that would make it a great site for use with students.
  • Another, similar site can be found at soundcloud.com and while I haven't yet explored it in depth, I have the impression this one might be better if sharing and composing material with other schools. It also seems to have more of a techno feel.
  • In this video, Bobby McFerrin demonstrates the power of the pentatonic scale. This performance was given at the World Science Festival as part of a presentation titled Notes and Neurons: in search of the common chorus (Gerald Lynch Theatre, John Jay College, NYC, June 12th 2009).  I have shown this to all sorts of people, all ages - it always seems to resonate. I wonder why?  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dzOfHzaGZZE&feature=related
  • Here's one on creative improvisation and the brain!http://www.abc.net.au/rn/allinthemind/stories/2011/3238562.htm#transcript
  • Here's one about ethical sense and morals and happiness and brains and the role of genetics etc.  "His Holiness the Dalai Lama joins All in the Mind's Natasha Mitchell and leading scholars in a dialogue about science, wellbeing and our moral minds. This week Harvard evolutionary biologist and author of Moral Minds, Marc Hauser, asks - does biology constrain our mind's potential and our moral capacity? Is there a place for moral outrage? Next week, founder of the field of positive psychology, Martin Seligman, and Buddhist scholar Alan Wallace join the fray. " Radio National: All In The Mind   http://mpegmedia.abc.net.au/rn/podcast/2009/12/aim_20091212.mp3
  • Music: Is it really therapeutic?http://www.abc.net.au/rn/allinthemind/stories/2009/2473393.htm
  • The importance of play in everyone's lives!http://mpegmedia.abc.net.au/rn/podcast/2010/07/lms_20100706_0905.mp3

Miscellaneous: Fun stuff

Tucker "Balldroppings!"

  • I have just discovered this great online music/physics game called "Balldroppings"! It's a very quick boot up and easy and interesting for various levels/ages. Small children can just have fun and play, yet older students can set themselves challenges with their visual designs affecting the music. Check it out - it'll only take five minutes (Unless, of course, you end up having too much fun!)
  • Here is a link to our readings http://rlms.utas.edu.au/erl/listpage.php?erlview=readings&erlunit=EMT694
  • I saw a WONDERFUL show at the Theatre Royal last Friday evening. Wolfe Bowart is truly inspiring and never boring! He weaves physical theatre with puppetry, dance, music, sound effects, juggling, video, lighting effects to produce shows that are funny and moving and extremely entertaining. I thought I would add this to the blog to see how successfully I could link the Mercury article about this show to this page.  Mercury article on "The Man the Sea Saw"
