Lincoln City, Oregon. I work atTaft Middle School, population 
c. 400. Most of my schoolcounseling experience has been at the 
Elementary Level. So, thisparticular age group is a bit new to me. Oh, I 
have dealt withthe early adolescent for a number of years earlier, but 
not inthe public school environment.What I would like to know is whether 
there are any othercounselors on the K12 network, and whether any would 
like tostart a communication line with me. I sure would like to hearfrom 
any counselor....                    Warmest regards....  Austin

Here in Montana, the problems with agencies not providing items on the the transition IEP is also a concern.  Our state department has suggested that another IEP be called when it becomes apparent that the agency is not going to provide the services...and the IEP be re-written to reflect the change.  This helps get the school off the hook, so to speak...at least that is my understanding.  I think that as time goes on the agencies will be required to be accountable.  Soozi    P.S. One suggestion in our huge



 state has been to develop interagency agreements...these seem to work in our cities....but the large rural population does not benefit.  Agencies such as VocRehab cover as many as 8-10 counties which is a huge area....probably 50,000 square miles...and thus our services in rural areas are quite limited.

Be very persistant in your demands.  I don't know all the laws for California but this little boy should be entitled to all sorts of programs and help.  But....from experience on both sides, both as educator and parent....be demanding.  What happens with this little boy now will make a big difference in his future.  I know of parents who have changed school districts in order to have the needs of their child met. Sometimes that isn't possible economically for the family, but changing a special needs child 



to another district means loss of money to that child's home district.

I think that music can greatly effect your mood. I find this very true as a performer. One day I felt ill but had to go to a dress rehersal. As the rehearsal continued I felt better and better until the end when I had totally forgoten how ill I felt at the beginning. I also have been touched at some performances by music which was beautiful enough to move me to pleasent tears. cS'b3yvzf:f3fsf:f3f33t3f3f3t3f3f3t3f3f3t3f3f3t3f3f3tw:f33t3f3fqd:f3fsf:f3fs\d:f3qXrf3fqd:f3fqd:f3fqXrf3fqd:f3fqd:f3fqd:f3fqdIPTake 



also how a march can make anyone feal patriotic. At parties a change from a Billy Joel song to metal can make me feel a little violent. OOO what fun.

Hi Chris,

Please excuse me, but I just had to butt in here!   I'm really
interested in the course you are doing.   My husband, Jonathan, is also
blind, and interested in music.   One of his mates (yet another blindie)
has just completed a BMus (perf. piano) at Auckland University in New
Zealand.    Do you prefer to learn new music from the braille music, or
aurally?   Jonathan has learnt Brl music, but doesn't like it much,
because it doesn't have the graphic qualities of print music, and is
very bulky (like all Brl I guess!)

CP>and I take notes in class with my laptop
What sort of laptop do you use?

CP>I use a speech synthesizer to listen to what comes over the
CP>modem, among other things.
What sort of synthesiser are you using?   We have an Accent synthesiser
with VocalEyes on this P.C., And a Keynote GoldCard with MasterTouch on
the BBS P.C.   I understand them both fairly well, although I prefer the
Accent - Still, it's not my worry - I can see the screen!

Well, all the best with your course.

i am an elementary music teacher of general music and band.
I suggest you learn clarinet first--it is more versitle, less expensive
(both reeds and the horn), and has less moving parts--ie--springs and pads
to malfunction while learning.

keep practicing!!

maybe try a brass instrument like the trombone someday for variety??

Hello, Lis.  If you already play the flute, you will find that the saxophone 
will be relatively easy.  Many of the fingerings are 'similar', and it is a 
common 'double' instrument with flute.  The major difference is the embouchere 
and method of tone production.  Are you planning on trying it under the 
guidance of a teacher?  

Also, I would recommend, if you're really serious about it, to rent one for a 
period of time.  I don't know about your area, but around here the first 
rental fee is applied to the price of the instrument, should you decide later 
on to buy it.  Rental for saxophones is often pretty steep, but is a lot less 
than buying one outright, only to find that you are not really interested.

Good luck.

 SM> Lisa if you are playing the flute I would stick to it.  If you want to

There are many different schools of thought on this.  For the last 18 years I 
have let kids try different instruments as circumstances would allow- after 
all, how does one know that someone who started on clarinet may not enjoy the 
flute better?  I try and steer each kid in the correct direction for their 
'primary' instrument, but it's entirely possible that, after awhile, a student 
may fare better on a different choice, or be able to play several instruments 
for greater enjoyment of music.

Many of my second year students play a second instrument.  The deal is, 
though, that their 'primary' instrument must not suffer.  My students have 
never had any problems as long as I'm on the ball.

Hi Andy,

     Two questions: 1) How low do the arrangements go?
I play a straight tenor 'bone with no trigger. Hence, the lowest
I can get is an E-natural. Any lower and I've got to take it up an
octave.   2) What's W/B mean? I've only been "bbs-ing" since last March
or so?

     Hope your holidays were great! My first band rehearsal
of the new year is Thursday night and I've got a lesson Friday morning.
It's gonna be an interesting couple of days. Can't wait! I'd better get

Being an Amigan MIDI guy I was hoping you could help me out.  I use a program called MED, you've probably heard of it, and an 8-bit Perfect Sound setup.  With my lack of any formal musical knowledge this set up suits me fine.  However I am sick of the tinny low range of my eight bit sampler and was wondering if the new 16 Sunrize samplers would work with MED or some other Soundtracker like program.  I am interested in later purchasing some sort of MIDI setup just to use as a scratch pad and perhaps somethi



ng along the line of a Roland MT-32.  What I would ultimately like is: 16-bit sampling, a keyboard just to use as a scratch pad, an external MT-32 like device and software which has no musical theory required (basicly like soundtracker but with many more effects and sample manipulation)  I would greatly appreciate any info...  Thanx...

I haven't had an audition for ages, but a friend gave me a tip for
interviews which may work, or may be catastrophic!  If you feel that the
person/people interviewing/auditioning you is somehow incredibly powerful
and superior to you, and thus you become nervous, imagine them doing some
very everyday, "human" act- eg. wearing their pyjamas or sitting on the
loo!   I've used it twice now - quite successfully.   You just have to
make sure the image isn't too funny, and you don't appear to be smirking
too much!   As for musical preparation, I used to find that playing to a
tape deck was pretty nerve-wracking, however, I don't know if having
practice at playing when you're nervous actually makes you any less
nervous during the audition!

Hi Dianne,

DC>Most of my students to not have the benefits of two parent
DC>families, or the joys of learning music in the home.  I
DC>would guess that a very
DC>large percentage of my students are not exposed to any kind
DC>of music besides the radio until they have music in school.

I am a primary school teacher in New Zealand.   Many of my students,
like yours, come from homes where the economic reality dictates that
getting food on the table comes before music lessons, and once the food
is on the table, there's no disposable income left!   I try to fit music
into as many curriculum areas as possible, and the children absolutely
lap it up.   I arranged for a high school orchestra and madrigal choir
from another part of the city to visit us last year, and the children
were absolutely spell-bound.

DC>One of my most enjoyable teaching areas is an after school
DC>choir for grade 3, 4, &5 students.

I also take a school choir for standard four children (sorry, I don't
know what this equals in your system of grades, but the average age is
10).   They work so hard, but we do mostly unison work, and very simple
harmony, because they don't have the training or experience to do things
which are more complex.   I am also a firm believer that it is far
better to do a simple thing well, than to do a complex thing poorly.   I
also take a recorder class 2 lunch-times per week.   I try to keep it
open for as many children as possible, as I know this may be the only
opportunity they will ever get to learn to read music, and to play an
instrument.   They are really keen, and when they performed at our end
of year prize-giving I was really proud of them!

DC>I always feel that many of the choral clinicians that circulate to the North
DC>American music conferences spend most of their time
DC>relating thier clinic sessions to choirs of students who
DC>are very well trained in music, through private lessons or
DC>otherwise.  Any information on students who are not so
DC>fortunate??  I feel my students are very unique special,
DC>and are benefiting greatly from the music instruction they
DC>are able to receive at school.

Just keep on doing what you're doing!   Take your students from where
they're at, and use the knowledge they have.   We have been very
fortunate to be selected for the composer in schools scheme in 1993.
We have a composer who will be working with some of the children one day
a week for at least the next term.   She is determined that the children
are going to write and perform a musical by the end of the second term,
so, if you're interested I'll keep you posted on some of the things she
does with them.   I'm really looking forward to it!

My musical range basically encompasses both the Metal Industrial as well as the Classical New Age spectrums.

I would rather do most things on my own and like to have total control over anything I am involved with that I have a personal atachment to, which is any creative endeavour.  I wouldn't say that the music a person listens 



to creates their general mood, I would say that their mood influences their choice of music...  Hope I could help out...
