Sound Connections Chapter Summary

The observation began with a review of what phonological awareness means. According to Chard, D.J. & Dickson, S.V. (2018), it is being aware of the fact that oral language is made up of many smaller units, such as words and syllables. In order to be successful at reading and writing language, an individual must develop skills in phonological awareness. Teaching students to rhyme is very important also because it is one of the ways students show that they have an awareness of phonological awareness. An example of rhyming is when a word is broken down by a single letter or combination of letter sounds such as the word chop would be broken into the onset: ch and rime: op. Students must

I am passionate about audio engineering and a can see myself doing it as a career. I have always pushed myself to learn more about music, and the skills I have learned have helped me to realize that I want to work in the recording industry. “Starting a career in audio recording has traditionally involved training through an informal apprenticeship system. With the rush of new technologies that have revolutionized the recording industry in recent years, and the opportunities that new media are opening up for recording professionals, a higher level of training and education in music, media and technology is now required for any meaningful employment, even at the entry level.” (Sound Recording Technology) I am attending college

Firstly, long before it was established and renamed Soundview, the area was a Native American settlement by the Siwanoy (Jackson, 1995). This Native American indigenous tribe was settled along what is now known as the Bronx River which is the western border of soundview. During the seventeenth century, the Dutch and English had taken interest in the Bronx which led to them settling in the area; eventually buying the land from the Native Americans in 1639 (Jenkins, 1912). The early eighteenth century Soundview was seen as an area for residence and estates to be enjoyed by those who did not live in the area all year around; at the same time many wealthy families saw it as an opportunity to use it as farmland. This area of the Bronx became known

Question 1: Can students demonstrate music growth through naming letter names of notes written on the staff with treble and bass clefs from F2 to G5? The research instrument entitled Grand Staff required students to generate letter names of notes placed on the staff with treble and bass clefs. Seventh and eighth grade students would have prior knowledge of note letter names from previous years in chorus. Sixth grade students would have prior

This is most important in the grades of kindergarten through second grade because teachers do a lot of modeling for the class. In these early years teachers spend a lot of time teaching letter sounds and early word sounds in class. Children cannot make this work up at home there for making it hard for a child to keep up and stay on track with their work. These are skills that they will need to

What do you think when you hear sound? Do you think of the old tale that says if a tree falls in the woods and no one is around to hear it, does it make any noise? Or do not question it and move on with life. Believe it or not sound is everywhere. Sound works in many different ways, to fully understand it, let's break it down into three main pieces. First of all sound is energy, next sound can change, Lastly to hear and to understand are two different things.

Question 2: Can students demonstrate musical growth through identifying note value names including whole, half, quarter, eighth, and sixteenth notes and rests? The growth will be measured with the instrument entitled Notes and Rests. (See Appendix A)

In the course ECE 212 Art & Music for the young child we created an individual lesson plan about music. This lesson plan was about providing a variety of materials to create and instrument. This helped the children thing critically as well as using their small motor skills. Afterward the children will be able to play their instruments that they have just

Studying the various aspects of this class, has awakened my senses to the beautiful sounds of each instrument; therefore, it was difficult to choose one. Nevertheless, I chose the piano for the simple reason that it is an instrument that my son and I both enjoy playing.

The provided themes act as prompts to assist them with improvising the composition. The themes, or samples available on Soundation, are inclusive of various genres explorable by students. In my classes, I plan to use this software in continuation of my unit on music notation. Last month, I introduced the circle of fourths and fifths, which students did not accomplish successfully. Last week, we began working on noteflight. Students immediately identified the different keys. My next plan will include soundation, however students will be assigned to stick to one key. This assignment will help them listen closer to the keys and understand the purpose of flats and sharps in varying keys. I anticipate students doing exceptionally well, possibly discovering hidden shortcuts. During this lesson, students will discover how music fits together like a puzzle. They will also be able to compare MIDI, digital audio, and

Phonics is described as “understanding letter-sound relationships, as well as larger letter pattern/sound pattern relationships” (Ruddell, 2009). Though in my opinion there is a lot more to phonics than this. There are several aspects to phonics, different types of phonics, negatives to the idea, and several ways to teach it. In this paper I will address all of these based on research I found, the discussion I had with my peers, and my own opinion.

Troubles arise after trying to deliver to a class of people not willing to accept what is being taught. The vehicle must be able to accept and receive all criticism of how and what went wrong. Earl H. Gaulke suggests we should listen to the rhythmic chants of childhood, and you have a key to what and how of teaching songs.

A hearing protection device (HPD) is often used as a protective measure in a workplace environment when the sound levels of that environment cannot be decreased and such levels pose a threat to the hearing of workers. An HPD is a safety device worn by individual’s to protect his or her hearing from the harmful effects of sound (Berger, 2003). A variety of occupational environments are known to produce high levels of noise, including factories and military operations. Individuals employed in these professions may be required to wear HPDs to reduce the risk of noise-induced hearing loss. However, certain situations in these work environments require the listener to also be able to hear low-level sounds for safety reasons.

There are not many people in this world who do not listen to at least some form of music weather it be pop or rock music on the radio, or the classical music of Beethoven or Mozart. Each genre and style is very unique in it’s own way and some styles are more appealing to one person than another. That is why it is very important to expand the types of music taught in educational music programs.
