Subject: Reading & Artic Problems
Date: Sat, 14 Nov 92 13:07:04 PDT
Organization: FidoNet node 1:3400/17 - MET NET BBS, Helena MT

I am searching for a method/materials to teach a severe phonology
child (7 yr old) to read.  His articulation errors are numerous. 
Not that long ago his speech was unintelligible.  In my initial
attempts to research this out, one of my reading difficulties texts
cites some research by G.L. Bond, and M. Monroe suggesting a
"visual-mental" word analysis method and suggests teaching severe
artic. kids to read by silent reading with the teacher and/other
students modeling the correct word/letter sounds.
     Anyone with experience teaching this way, or who has further
ideas on ways to teach reading to such a child, the information is
welcomed. I'll be writing an initial IEP next week (11-17-92).  I
see the program as one which will be more exploratory than specific
here at the start.  To make this even more difficult, I'm looking
for materials which could be taught by a regular classroom teacher
or instructional aide, as we use an itinerant sp.ed. service
delivery model...I don't do the direct teaching. If I was the
person teaching the child daily, this would likely be alot more
simple.  Thanks.  Soozi
     P.S.  There's another contributing factor, I'll mention.  The
child, developmentally, is not yet at a point where he can like
make "mental" language in his head.  That's the part that has me
stuck!!---

Organization: FidoNet node 1:105/114 - The Electronic Educ, Washougal WA

Hi, just reread my message to you and I"m not sure I answered what you wanted.  I talked more about personal things we do as a team and individually with our students.  We have 56 students on our Spec.Ed. roster and about 20 that come in and out of our self-contained classroom during the day.  A few of these students are with us almost all day, they tend to be either the very low or BD.  I am sitting here at home and can't think of the Self Awareness program's name that we use with our students.  Its a ser



ies of activities designed to make them aware of their own plus', happy things in their lives etc.  Such as:  What was my favorite toy as a child?   Do I have a family nickname?   If I was in a fire I would save______?   and on and on, some questions are heavier some lighter, we go around the room and every answers out loud.  We answer them too, sometimes there is a discussion about people's answers.  It lets everyone see each other in a different way.  
    There is one school of thought that says abused, hurt kids need to confront their bad experiences.  I see students come back from a counseling session depressed, moody and it sometimes takes days for them to come out of it.  I think, with some of these situations, these bad memories need to be put away and the future given the emphasis, the "now" looked at.....
   One of my "team" mates has jars full of paper clips for two of our more negative students....when they say something negative, out comes a paper clip, when they say something positive the paper clip goes back in or if there are no clips out, nothing.  If at the end of week,all the paper clips are still there,they get a award...which varies from week to week.  It works amazingly with these two and we see a change in how they view themselves and what they say.
   Most of our kids are or have been sexually active since an early age. We have one girl who has a real problem with using her sexually to get love and "boy friends".  She has had many "boy friends".  We haven't made much progress with her.  She is very low functioning and while she will agree with me that she needs to respect herself more and not buy friendships or love with sex, she continues to be used and abused.  The other students are very aware that what she is doing is not good and in that respect



 its been a good lesson for many of them on what not to do.  She's had several preganancies which have ended in various manners and is quite open about it.  Sad.
   Gangs:  we have several gang members or former gang members.  Several black students, an Asian and a white student.  Where to yours come from, what gang backgrounds? We had a gang interventionist at the school last year because we were starting to see some activitiy in the regular school population.  
   I'll be quiet now.....

Interesting questions. In some cases the students are sent to a resource 
teacher who works  1 to 1 or in small groups ( usually max 5). sometimes 
mini-lessons are taught with the special needs student in mind, we have a 
very small population of students in self-contained classrooms......I think 
11 for the whole system. We have a school population of about 14 000 (+/-). 
there are about 800 teaching staff in our system.
We also have many integrated students in our system.....from those with 
major learning disabilities to those who would have been termed TMH years 
ago. As well as some with behaviour disordes... I had one from the Nova 
Scotia Hospital which is a psychiatric unit.

I use an Amiga for MIDI, but here are some things that might help:

You basically need to look into two types of software- a Sequencer, which is basically a MIDI tape recorder with many more advanced features over tape. Some sequencers allow graphic editing of each note (the best way, in my opinion).

Secondly is a music printing/notation program, and FINALE seems to be the favorite. It also has sequencer type functions. This is a pro piece of software, and has a difficult learning curve if you use all of its functions.
Finale will allow you to play notes and have them appear in standard notation.

One piece of hardware you will need is a MIDI interface to talk to your keyboard from the computer. The standard is Roland's MPU-401, so get it or one that is compatible.

I really think the first thing you should do is what I did when I first got into MIDI, which is to buy some magazines such as Electronic Musician and Keyboard. At first, most of the stuff in these mags will be incomprehensible, but what I did was read the ads and wrote the software companies for info. To help you get started here are what I think are the favorite PC Music Software companies:

Voyetra-Sequencers, MIDI Interface
Passport-Sequencers,Music Printing
Dr. T's-Sequencers, Music Printing
Coda-maker of Finale
Temporal Acuity Products-"Music Printer Plus"
Twelve Tone Systems-"Cakewalk" very popular Sequencer

Some of the software is now made to be used with Windows, although you can get DOS versions if you are not running it. After you've received info on some of these products write another message here with questions on specific software. I'm sure you'll get lots of opinions.

Hope this helps.

John

SS>they aren't getting much easier.......Thank-you all!


Well, it doesn't get any easier.  I have been doing auditions for 16 years, and
I am still a basket case.  What I do is come prepared (that is obvious) and
do some deep breathing exercises before I start the audition.  Another good
way to practice for auditions is play for your friends, and make sure that
your friends will give you an honest and objective evaluation of your
performance.  I also find that recording yourself in a mock audition helps.
It gets you used to a little pressure while you play.  Recorders don't lie!!!

If you are in college, try taking a performance anxiety class.

I think what is most important is that however you do on any particular
audition, the sun will come up the next day.  Life will go on.

I wish you luck.

I am looking at the Yamaha Clavinova CLP-560 as a replacement for a number of
falling-apart upright acoustic pianos in a grade 4-7 middle school. I need a
hard touch and the Yamaha had the hardest (58 grams). The sound from the
built-in speakers was *very* nice (I want one with built-in speakers because
I don't want to have to try to match an amp to the keyboard nor drag around
yet another piece of bulky equipment from class to class). The piano sound was
quite realistic! The quoted price was $2650.

Comments please on this model or the CLP line in general and the price.

        Piano + Flute

Hello! Are you looking for original works? Bach? Beethoven? Handel? Grieg? 

All I have are those printed for Flute and Piano which were compiled prior to
1974. Do not music stores have these? 

"World Music" based out of Ky.?? is a great source and idea center.

Good luck!!

You made a request for help with auditions. There is an excellent book I came across when I was at university.  It is called "A Soprano on Her Head".  At the moment, I can't remember who it is by, and one of my students has my copy, but check your closest music library, or any bookstores.  It is a book written as the result of numerous sessions with musicians.  it has many discussions on how to overcome
performance anxieties.  Lots of good ideas on using "mind over matter"
-ie., it's not what you think about, It' how you think about it"
 
if I get the book back, I will send the author's name to you.  Hope this will be of help.
 
By the way, my name is Diane Charrett, I am a flute player.  Your instrument?  I am from Prince Albert, Saskatchewan, Canada.  Do you know where that is??
 
Send back if you like....

I am a Music Educator in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan, Canada.  I teach at an inner city school in a city of about 35,000 people.  My experience with these children lead me more and more to believe that there is a great deal of difference in teaching music to them than to children in middle, and upper middle class areas.
 
Most of my students to not have the benefits of two parent families, or the joys of learning music in the home.  I would guess that a very
large percentage of my students are not exposed to any kind of music besides the radio until they have music in school.
 
One of my most enjoyable teaching areas is an after school choir for grade 3, 4, &5 students.  I am very interested to know if anyone out there has experienced the same kind of feeling with inner-city students. 
 
I always feel that many of the choral clinicians that circulate to the North American music conferences spend most of their time relating thier clinic sessions to choirs of students who are very well trained in music, through private lessons or otherwise.  Any information on students who are not so fortunate??  I feel my students are very unique special, and are benefiting greatly from the music instruction they
are able to receive at school.
 
Any other teachers experiencing similar situations, please send back. 
. . . .
 
Musically yours,

Hello, Melanie- I wish you luck in finding other musicians to join you.  I'd 
like to remind you that this is an international echo, though, and you might 
find people interested, but in rather impractical situations based on 
geography.  What type of small ensemble are you trying to form, anyway?  
Perhaps, with a better idea of what you have in mind, the participants in this 
conference could help you find ways to find players, if not the players 
themselves.
