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

shared by yvetteml on 08 Feb 19 - No Cached
  • 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.

    Similar to Soundtrap.com; this online DAW is a great resource for student to create music with loops. I've used this in a technology class and students enjoy the variety of loops.
  • wlanxner on 09 Feb 19
     
    Soundation is a fully functioning cloud-based DAW, similar to Soundtrap. The look is darker and more professional, and the effects processing is more sophisticated. This could be a good option for college-level recording and collaboration, whereas Soundtrap's colorful look and simplicity would be more appropriate for middle- and high-school use.
  • patiencetez on 10 Feb 19
     
    Soundation is a Digital Audio Workstation similar to sound trap though soundation appears more professional, and the effects are more sophisticated. With soundation, students learn to do recording, editing, mixing, instrument patches, and MIDI input. Soundation is good for university level whereas Soundtrap's simplicity is good for middle and high school. Like soundtrap, it has a free one month trial with limited accessibility and to access the full premium, one has to pay. Soundation helps students acquire the 4Cs i.e Collaboration, communication, creativity, and critical thinking. It is a good resource for teaching studio composition and for enhancing the musicianship of non traditional music students.

    Sound trap is an online Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) that one can use to create loops and tracks online. One doesn't need to download any software to install sound trap, it is typically online and is a very good resource for teaching creativity, collaboration, communication, and critical thinking (4 Cs). I like sound trap because it enables students and teachers to continue work anywhere any time (in and outside the classroom). Teachers can easily add projects and invite students to work on the project any time anywhere. The fact that one can invite another person to work on the same project and/or even record a track together is mesmerizing. With sound trap, it is easy to record any instrument, download a track, and best of all, you can record using a microphone and/or use the free loops, MIDI, and effects that come with the software. A school has to purchase the software and add students to start using it. However, the software has a one month free trial which teachers can try out with their students before purchasing.

    The purpose of this resource is to help students with ear training for interval recognition using familiar tunes. The musical content is in the form of links to YouTube clips that demonstrate different intervals. This source is valuable for teachers because it builds on what students know (the familiar tunes) and provides immediate links for patterns of intervals both ascending and descending. It also allows you to select only the examples you want to use and print them out on their own chart. It also provides tutorials and music facts about theory and technology. Like many other software programs, it offers a free trial, making it more marketable and appealing to teachers and students alike.

    This website will generate a list of intervals with related songs to learn the intervals. By picking the song of your choice, you can build a custom list to meet your students' interests. The list is printable and can be distributed to your students.

    This website features free access to musical excerpts of famous songs and melodies to illustrate examples of musical intervals. Each excerpt is a link to a video on YouTube. You can create your own song chart of favorite pieces to use as an example of each interval in ascending or descending patterns. Music educators would find these examples very useful for classroom instruction. The Earmaster company also offers ear training materials for purchase including over 2000 exercises for musicians of all ability levels. Free trials are available and it is advertised that music schools and universities use these products.

    EarMaster organizes an ample amount of repertoire for learning specific intervals. The music examples are categorized by ascending and descending intervals of minor/major 2nd, 3rd, 6th, 7th, perfect 4th, 5th, octaves, and tritones. The youtube examples will start immediately where the specified interval can be heard. Students can choose to memorize any examples listed to help them remember the sound of specific intervals.

    This site offers a service that one wishes they had until they realize it exists. Essentially, if offers lists of songs that can be used to teach intervals. For many choirs - both middle and high school - the majority of students have not had proper ear training. A fun and effective way to do this remedially is to use familiar or easy to sing songs that students can reference to develop their ears. This site puts many song titles in one place to help facilitate that.
  • lcm09c on 10 Feb 19
     
    This website allows teachers to find songs that are associated with particular intervals. There is a free version but the paid (2.99/month) has more features. This software basically generates a chart with a list of songs for each interval and can be used as an excellent ear training activity!

Videos accompany the example, however, you can easily make it into an aural example. Once you select your song choices, then you can generate your own list and print it out.

    The Sight Reading Factory link is one of the best sight-reading websites I have come across to date.  Within the free demo, I was able to access sight reading exercises for a number of band, instrumental, and vocal practice lessons.  In my personal exploration of the demo, I first looked into locating sight reading exercises for piano.  I was able to edit the time signature and key signature before seeing the practice exercises.  This feature is GREAT for people who are learning to play/count in different meters or using accidentals in their piano playing.  The same can be said for people learning to utilize solfedge in their singing, utilize new fingerings in their instrumental playing, or simply challenge themselves.  The website offers multiple difficulty levels, making the use of this website in a secondary music school setting ideal.  Sight reading exercises and study are some of the major contributors to my development as a musician and educator.  Since the exercises are generated on command, the site provides unlimited sight reading exercises to its users, making its longevity a strong selling-point.

    This is the best sightreading website I have encountered. A student is able to customize the exercises to his/her level of ability and it will create random sightreading excerpts. It is certainly a tool I always suggest to my students to invest in.

    Sight Reading Factory is a comprehensive online sight reading tool which provides on-demand computer-generated music examples which are customizable by instrument, playing level, length, key, and time signature.

Rhythm-only examples are also available. Once configured, the service provides unlimited, computer-generated sight reading examples based on the settings. Although randomly generated, the algorithm delivers rather authentic, musical selections. The user has two choices for participation: timed review period or free play. Settings can also be adjusted to toggle metronome click and cursor, as well as making measures disappear before or after playing.

    Sight Reading Factory is a great technology music-education tool. The site offers a short free trial, but the annual fee is very inexpensive. The technical support is great, and can problem solve quickly. Build sight-reading skills with the entire class, or create individual sight-reading assignments for students. Educators can generate custom sight-reading examples by easy selection of criteria. This site is worth the money and can be beneficial for student achievement in learning to read and sing musical notation.

    This site can be used for practicing sight reading. The possibilities of combinations of notes, short songs, and everything can be found here. I have even found that state all-state bands have used it to create their sight reading pieces for all state band. It does cost, but the price can be worth it even if just a teacher subscription is bought.

Lower levels can be effective for early elementary students, and higher levels can be effective for students in high school. Games are colorful and entertaining, and they list certain scores that students should strive to achieve. Most games have a lesson version, a practice version, and a quiz version. Teachers can track scores and data of individual students to see strengths and weaknesses.

  • On my computer, I had the zip file that contained all of the PDFs for each file pulled up so that as I was going through them with the whole group, if I wanted them to be able to see something better, I could show them the PDF version instead of the  tiny cards I was holding for some of the centers.

      We used to do a game like this for theatre. I would love to use this as a beginning of the year activity for assessment, or a way to practice certain parts for a concert.

    • cheyroseb
      cheyroseb on 14 Feb 19
       
      I like the idea of using cue cards with simple rhythmic ostinatos to accompany a cd track. You could introduce the ostinatos before the activity and practice by switching between cards. Once the kids feel comfortable, play the song and use the cue cards.
  • Use rhythm flashcards to create a song that the students know well. Have the students clap and read the rhythms and see if they can figure out the mystery song.
