Extractions: The Musical Brain Classical Pop Rap New Age Folk Blues Rock Country You might like all of these types of music, you might like a few of these, or you might not like any of them at all. Your brain somehow makes sense of music and allows you to make the decisions about your musical taste. At its most basic level, music is just sound. Sound produced by vibration. These vibrations can be caused by voices, musical instruments or by objects hitting each other. Sounds are carried to the ear by changes in air pressure. Music itself has several important characteristics such as rhythm, pitch, timbre and melody. Contents of this Page Musical Instruments References Musical instruments create sound by vibrating in different ways Reed Instruments - the reed is vibrated and a player's lips are used to create changes in air pressure. Brass Instruments - a player's lips are vibrated as he or she puffs on the instrument. String Instuments - strings on the instrument are vibrated by plucking or bowing. Percussion Instruments - objects are vibrated by banging them together.

Extractions: Well, before you come to any long-lasting conclusions, there are some things you may want to consider. As a professional music teacher, parents often ask me if their children are at the right age to begin music lessons. My answer is always the same: that depends. At that point I begin asking the parents for some information about their children. Along with asking their age, I may also ask about their interest level, previous musical experiences and for descriptions of their physical characteristics and temperament. I ask parents to describe what they hope to attain by investing what can amount to huge amounts of time, energy and money in the study of music.
Extractions: Nature of the Work About this section Back to Top Teachers act as facilitators or coaches, using interactive discussions and hands-on approaches to help students learn and apply concepts in subjects such as science, mathematics, or English. They utilize props or manipulatives to help children understand abstract concepts, solve problems, and develop critical thought processes. For example, they teach the concepts of numbers or of addition and subtraction by playing board games. As the children get older, the teachers use more sophisticated materials, such as science apparatus, cameras, or computers. To encourage collaboration in solving problems, students are increasingly working in groups to discuss and solve problems together. Preparing students for the future workforce is the major stimulus generating the changes in education. To be prepared, students must be able to interact with others, adapt to new technology, and think through problems logically. Teachers provide the tools and the environment for their students to develop these skills.

Extractions: var ecp_channel="Music" LOS ANGELES. Music lessons, and even simply listening to music, can enhance spatial reasoning performance, according to research presented at the 102nd Annual Convention of the American Psychological Association. The new findings were presented by psychologist Frances Rauscher, Ph.D. and neuroscientist Gordon Shaw, Ph.D., representing a research team from the University of California at Irvine. Dr. Rauscher and Dr. Shaw's studies confirm, and substantially extend their earlier research which demonstrated an unmistakable causal link between music and spatial intelligence. This further research will have considerable potential to reverse the commonly-held view of music education as essentially irrelevant to intellectual development. The researchers note that well-developed spatial intelligence is the ability to perceive the visual world accurately, to form mental images of physical objects, and to recognize variations of objects. The researchers theorize that spatial reasoning abilities are crucial for such higher brain functions as music, complex mathematics, and chess. As many of the problems in which scientists and engineers engage in cannot be described in verbal form, progress in science may, in fact, be closely linked to the development of certain spatial skills. Dr. Rauscher and Dr. Shaw's results show that the spatial reasoning performance of 19 preschool children who received eight months of music lessons, far exceeded the spatial reasoning performance of a demographically comparable group of 15 preschool children who did not receive music lessons.

Extractions: When music instruction is presented in a non threatening, supportive environment, by highly trained facilitators, a child develops the self esteem and confidence necessary to excel in all areas of life. Music lessons are a catalyst for the development of important life skills such as problem solving, self discipline, and goal setting. From academics to sports, children who study music lead the way! A 1997 study completed by a leading psychologist from the University of Wisconsin and a leading physicist from the University of California reported that preschoolers who received music training, specifically piano/keyboard lessons, performed 43% higher on tests that measured spatial-temporal ability than their peers who did not receive the same training. This ability allows a person to perform at a more superior level in subjects such as math, science and engineering. "The Music Simply Music program was added to our Child Development Center program in the hopes that it would give the children (ages 2-6 years) a positive and fun experience and lay the foundation for musical growth and formal instruction. Our hopes were answered!
