shared by zomig12 on 23 Sep 15 - No Cached

    This is a website devoted to this history and performance of Taps. There is information regarding how to properly perform this bugle call. Also, there is information about bugles in general and their role in the military. Great for teaching trumpet players (and really all musicians) about this very well known call.

    This site provides a network for buglers. While also a place to find buglers or to sign up for one, there is also articles and comments about Taps.

    J.W. Pepper is the easiest site I've used when choosing and purchasing sheet music. It is very helpful that most of the pieces allow you to hear a performance of the music you want to buy and you are able to see the scores for the pieces, this has helped me determine if my groups can play the piece before I buy it. I can see if the range is too high for trumpets, if there are a lot of string crossings for violins, etc.

Prices of music keep rising, but they have great customer service and shipping is usually quick. Many selections on the website are accompanied by a recording of the piece, but not always in the voicing selected.

    JW Pepper is a resource I use to find music for my choirs of 4th-8th grade. It has music categorized by event, genre, grade, and ensemble. I also use this resource to play recordings for my students to model a new piece of repertoire.

    The graphics on this website are amazing- any child would enjoy browsing through and learning about musical instruments, composition, and composers. Also very neat is the game where you can "play" different musical instruments. The numbers on the computer keypad become notes in a scale!

"Does Music Therapy Work?" - Introduction - 0 views

  • Music has existed in some form since the Prehistoric times, and the first likely use of music was a call used to communicate to other members of a family unit or group either for entertainment, spiritual purposes (for example, rain dance chants) or for survival in hunting or gathering situations.(6) Notably, the role of the shaman or healer has been well documented(7) and can be considered analogous to the role of the music therapist today.
  • Whilst bias and exaggeration is possible in music therapy trials (as with all research), overall music therapy costs less than a drug trial - which often need millions of pounds in support.(32) In addition, drug trials are more likely to be implicated in pharmacological corruption(33), with consequences for patients by virtue of skewing or altering results - as seen with the understatement of the negative effects of Agent Orange, a carcinogenic (cancer-causing) herbicide used in the Vietnam war, by Monsanto.(34)
  •  
    This is an interesting article on the effectiveness of music therapy. It points also points out how cost effective music therapy is compared to drug trials.
