Listen Again
Author: David Wulstan
Publisher: Rowman & Littlefield
ISBN: 1442237503
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 480
Book Description
How do you tell the key of a piece—without looking at a score? How do you know when a musical work ended before an audience applauds or a radio announcer returns on air? Was there, in fact, a ‘breakdown of tonality’ in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries? These questions and others are the focus of David Wulstan’s Listen Again: A New History of Music. He also shows where the nuove musiche of the early Baroque era came from and what the two critical but unlinked chords in the middle of Bach’s Brandenburg Concerto No. III signify. Previous literature in music does not properly address these questions and innumerable others. In Listen Again, Wulstan illustrates how music from Bach to Bartók was far less "revolutionary" than customarily imagined and that the "inversionist" doctrine of Rameau and kindred acoustical misconceptions, courtesy of Heinrich Schenker and other analysts, solve fewer problems than their purveyor claim. In Listen Again, Wulstan takes to task early theorists, who were mostly clerics who ignored non-ecclesiastical music, and their modern equivalents, who consider only the blinding white of the written or printed score, whilst ignoring music as heard and interpreted by the ear and brain. Instead, Wulstan enquires into the musical activities of the common folk to addressing key issues that early and modern theorists have regularly overlooked. The book will appeal anyone who has dismissed "harmony," "theory" and the like as alien, in effect, to practical music. Readers will find in Listen Again that the true history of music has far more practical relevance for performers than the aridity of music theory coursework, demonstrating by example how this work a book about music, not, as in the case of so much theoretical work, a "book about books."

Reading Groups, Libraries and Social Inclusion
Author: Eileen Hyder
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317071204
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 113
Book Description
Reading groups have grown rapidly in popularity and continue to be a significant cultural phenomenon. Reading groups in public libraries, linked to the learning and social inclusion agenda, have expanded to include a wide range of groups within society, including people with visual impairments (VIPs). This under-researched area is the focus of this book. Library-based VIP reading groups are interesting on many levels. Given that these groups predominantly use audio versions of the text (rather than print), this links to debates about the changing nature of reading in a multi-modal age. This book discusses whether contemporary society still defines reading as a visual activity or whether technological developments have led to a broadening of the definition of reading. The author goes on to discuss how policy is translated into practice within the library context and whether the wide range of reading groups linked to libraries suggests that libraries understand and are taking the social inclusion agenda seriously. She also explores how effectively libraries are using reading groups as a tool for delivering on the agenda for learning and how this sits within wider priorities for post-compulsory education and lifelong learning. Finally the book suggests ideas for future development for these groups, outlining ways in which their potential could be maximised for the benefit of both the library and the reading group members. The book will be of great interest to professional librarians as well as students and scholars of librarianship. It will also be of interest to those working on the emerging field of reading groups in literary studies. Those interested in the role of reading in education, as well as disability scholars, will also find the book useful.

Languages : en
Pages : 345
Book Description
"Reading well across disciplines and within varied contexts will help students to be versatile, flexible, deep readers who can better learn from their reading, transfer skills across subjects, and use strategies to meet the unique demands of reading in each content area." – Jennifer Serravallo Research-based, easy-to-use lesson structures for explicit and engaging teaching In Teaching Reading Across the Day, literacy expert Jennifer Serravallo provides nine effective, predictable, research-based lesson structures that help busy teachers save planning time and focus their teaching—and student attention—on content rather than procedures. Each of the nine lesson structures (read aloud, phonics and spelling, vocabulary, focus, shared reading, close reading, guided inquiry, reader’s theater, and conversation) has its own chapter and features a wealth of resources that let you see the lessons in action in ELA, Science, and Social Studies classes, including: An annotated teaching vignette, lesson explanation, and research notes Tips for planning, structure and timing suggestions, and ideas for responsive teaching Detailed planning templates and 22 accompanying online videos covering over 3 hours of classroom footage Jen’s reflections, key look-fors, and ideas for next steps The nine lesson structures can be used with any curriculum or core program, text, and subject, making it easier for teachers to maximize explicit and engaging teaching time across the day, and simplify planning and preparation. Jen incorporates a wide range of compelling research about how best to teach reading to every student in your class and translates the research (or the science of teaching reading) into high-leverage moves you can count on to deliver powerful lessons again and again. She also honors the art of teaching reading, helping teachers tap into their experience and hone their expertise to make quick, effective classroom decisions that take student learning to the next level.

Trends in Language Teaching, Literature, Cultural Studies, and Linguistic
Author: Dr. P. Athahar
Publisher: JEC PUBLICATION
ISBN: 9361751271
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 268
Book Description
This book titled “Trends in Language Teaching, Literature, Cultural Studies, and Linguistics” embarks on a journey that transcends borders, delves into the intricacies of language, and celebrates the rich tapestry of human expression. Language is more than mere communication; it’s a mirror reflecting our collective identity, aspirations, and cultural heritage. As educators, scholars, and language enthusiasts, we recognize that our field is ever-evolving. New methodologies emerge, literary landscapes shift, and cultural contexts shape our understanding of words and their power. In this book, we explore four interconnected domains: Language Teaching: How do we inspire language learners? What innovative pedagogies foster fluency and cultural competence? Our contributors share practical insights and theoretical frameworks. Literature: From timeless classics to contemporary voices, literature invites us to explore the human condition. We discuss trends, genres, and the transformative impact of storytelling. Cultural Studies: Culture is the heartbeat of language. We delve into cultural nuances, intercultural communication, and the ways in which literature reflects societal shifts. Linguistics: The science behind language—its structure, evolution, and sociolinguistic dimensions— fuels our curiosity. Linguists unravel mysteries, and we follow their trail. Within these chapters, you’ll encounter passionate educators and rigorous researchers. Their voices harmonize, creating a symphony of ideas. We celebrate diversity—of languages, perspectives, and methodologies. Together, let’s navigate the currents of change, guided by empathy, curiosity, and a shared love for language. Thank you for joining us on this odyssey.
