From music making to speaking: Engaging the mirror neuron system in autism - 0 views

  • mirror neuron system (MNS)
  • The involvement of this multisensory and motor system is particularly evident in experts, such as musicians. Neuroimaging studies using voxel-based morphometry found evidence for structural brain changes such as increased gray matter volume in the inferior frontal gyrus in instrumental musicians compared with non-musicians
  • Social and communication impairments represent some of the key diagnostic characteristics of autism
  • ...9 more annotations...
  • Theory of mind refers to the ability to understand another person’s mental state, including their beliefs, intents and desires, as separate from one’s own thoughts, experiences and behaviors
  • Research has demonstrated a relationship between joint attention and language development in children with autism.
  • Besides poor joint attention, the communication deficits in autism may be related to imitation difficulties. Imitation involves translating another person’s action into one’s own, and is also considered to be a precursor of language developmen
  • We argue that this engagement could be achieved through forms of music making. Music making with others (e.g., playing instruments or singing) is a multi-modal activity that has been shown to engage brain regions that largely overlap with the human MNS. Furthermore, many children with autism thoroughly enjoy participating in musical activities. Such activities may enhance their ability to focus and interact with others, thereby fostering the development of communication and social skills. Thus, interventions incorporating methods of music making may offer a promising approach for facilitating expressive language in otherwise nonverbal children with autism.
  • Given that the mirror neuron system is believed to involve both sensorimotor integration and speech representation, it is likely to underlie some of the communication deficits in individuals with autism spectrum disorder
  • Music is a unique, multi-modal stimulus that involves the processing of simultaneous visual, auditory, somatosensory, and motoric information; in music making, this information is used to execute and control motor actions
  • It has long been noted that children with autism thoroughly enjoy the process of making and learning music

  • We then have expansions of range and complexity as we move into the Baroque era. The Classical era gives us the emotional power associated with such composers as Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Romanticism then transforms the rigid styles and forms of the Classical era into more individualistic stylizations. Tonality was at its peak during this period, then Impressionist music paved the way to the use of extreme dissonances in the music of the Modern era.

    This is an online wikibook that may serve as a good resource for the students that will be enrolled into my class. My current course, which is part 2 of 2, covers music from the Baroque to 20th Centuries. Students in my class can use this resource for both part 1, and part 2 of my class as it covers music from Medieval times to the present. It covers terms, vocabulary, compositions and composers. I believe that my students and I could use this as a reference point to an overview of each musical period.

If My Cat Can Compose, What's Your Excuse? - 0 views

  • Now, I know from personal experience that the thought of creating a musical composition can overwhelm a “purr”son. (Oops!) In the past, I have tried too hard and nothing musical ever developed. So, since Al is a relaxed and laid-back composer, I will follow his example and listen for musical ideas in the world around me.

      This parapgrah is a cute way of letting students know that it is ok to feel a bit anxious about creating a piece of music.
  • Now after this mornings shower, I heard the annoying but rhythmic beat from my leaking bathroom faucet. In the kitchen, the whirring and pulsing sounds of the food blender were jazzy and invigorating. When turning on the TV, the first few notes that I heard became the beginning of a song. Fire engines and ambulance provided ALARMING possibilities. At last I was composing!!

      This paragraph fits very nicely into a Unit I always did in the F2F environment in 6th grade called Found Sounds. This might tie nicely to a F2F experience the students could have with composing in the classroom as a precursor to composing in their Software program.

  • Your learning styles have more influence than you may realize. Your preferred styles guide the way you learn. They also change the way you internally represent experiences, the way you recall information, and even the words you choose. We explore more of these features in this chapter.Research shows us that each learning style uses different parts of the brain. By involving more of the brain during learning, we remember more of what we learn. Researchers using brain-imaging technologies have been able to find out the key areas of the brain responsible for each learning style.

    "The Seven Learning Styles Visual (spatial):You prefer using pictures, images, and spatial understanding. Aural (auditory-musical): You prefer using sound and music. Verbal (linguistic): You prefer using words, both in speech and writing. Physical (kinesthetic): You prefer using your body, hands and sense of touch. Logical (mathematical): You prefer using logic, reasoning and systems. Social (interpersonal): You prefer to learn in groups or with other people. Solitary (intrapersonal): You prefer to work alone and use self-study."
