    "ransformative uses are, broadly speaking, uses of copyrighted works which create something new that has a different purpose than the original work involved. Transformative works are often identified as those which do not create any kind of market competition with the original work. Thus a parody of a 1950's classic song by a 1980's rap group is a transformative use of the original, and an historical work about the Grateful Dead makes a transformative use of original concert posters for Dead concerts when it uses them to illustrate a time line. "

    "transformative"? The line is so blurry there. Just how much musical material do you have to use from another recording before it is "ripping off"? Otherwise, one of my project options for my final project is for a student to create a concert poster in the style of 1960s Fillmore/Winterland posters that illustrate a concept map of what the student has learned.

      Hover over the keyboard to get a list of fuges by J.S. Bach. Click on one and an excerpt from that fugue will play. Move over to play movie and a new screen will come up. The entire fugue will play while scrolling through the music. A listening analysis map will also show and will move while the piece is playing.

      The pieces in this site could be used during various discussion assignments for Music Theory and Analysis course. They can also be used to show examples of the concepts in many of the course module activities and how they are used in real music.

    This site includes all of the Fugues from the "Well-Tempered Clavier", a book of preludes and fuges by J.S. Bach. Each fugue is played and includes a movie of the music and a timeline of analysis to go along.

cognitive alteration of mood meditation health

  • So how did he get that way? Apparently, the same way you get to Carnegie Hall. Practice.
  • One flavor of happiness at which Rinpoche seems to excel has been well-studied by scientists specializing in how emotions operate in our brains.
  • who heads the Laboratory for Affective Neuroscience at the University of Wisconsin, has found one distinct brain profile for happiness. As Davidson’s laboratory has reported, when we are in distress, the brain shows high activation levels in the right prefrontal area and the amygdala. But when we are in an upbeat mood, the right side quiets and the left prefrontal area stirs. When showing this brain pattern, people report feeling, as Davidson put it to me, “positively engaged, goal-directed, enthusiastic, and energetic.”

  • One of the first findings from the research showed that when these adepts meditated on compassion, their left prefrontal areas jumped in activity an average 100 percent — by contrast a control group who were taught the same meditation practice showed an increase of just 10 percent. Two of the adepts had spectacular increases, in the 700-to-800-percent range, in key neural zones for good feeling. The more lifetime hours of practice, the greater the increases tended to be. All this seems to confirm the idea that in the realm of positive moods, as in nearly every endeavor, worldly or spiritual, practice matters.

  • : A “one-minute paper” may be defined as a very short, in-class writing activity (taking one-minute or less to complete) in response to an instructor-posed question, which prompts students to reflect on the day’s lesson and provides the instructor with useful feedback.
  • What was the most important concept you learned in class today? Or, “What was the ‘muddiest’ or most confusing concept covered in today’s class?
  • more as a student-centered reflection strategy designed to help students discover their own meaning in relation to concepts covered in class, and to build instructor-student rapport

  • *For you, what interesting questions remain unanswered about today’s topic?
  • In your opinion, what was the most useful idea discussed in today’s class?
  • *What do you think was the most important point or central concept communicated during today’s presentation?  
  • *What relationship did you see between today’s topic and other topics previously covered in this course?
  • Minute papers can provide a “conceptual bridge” between successive class periods
  • Minute papers are a more efficient way to promote writing-across-the curriculum than the traditional term paper.
  • Minute papers can function as an ongoing learning log or learning journal for the course.

  • As Siegel (2006) points out, “children have always engaged in what are now called multimodal literacy practices” (pg.65) Children naturally talk about, dramatize and draw ideas that they are reading and writing about. Furthermore, using multiple modes or sign systems can provide new and deeper meaning (Siegel, 2006, pg. 71)
  • Research to date shows that when curricular changes include multimodality, those youth who experience substantial success are the very ones who’ve been labeled “struggling reader” or “learning disabled” (Siegel, 2006, pg. 73)
  • Many progressive pedagogies such as constructivism, experiential learning and inquiry learning emphasize the importance of building upon students’ experiences, knowledge, skills and interests (Rowsell, Kosnik & Beck, 2009.)

  •  that students learn more when teachers present material through multiple modes and media rather than in just a single mode.
  • The data shows that students of all ages retain more verbal information — textual or oral — when educators supplement it with visual and multimedia examples.

      Program includes materials to engage students such as virtual labs and interactive periodic tables. Virtual labs take students through as much detail as which gloves to pick and what to do when something goes wrong, just like in a real experiment. In addition, they send a chemistry kit for experiments that are not dangerous. The courses also include interactive concept maps that tie the concepts together to help students understand.
