Kalyn, I found your yodio on reading music very interesting. By using music as the reading content I think it provides a more clear picture of the reading process. I find it interesting how music conveys emotion through the notes, written and conductor added dynamics and the individual instruments. Compared to written words using vocabulary and context to convey emotions. Interesting to me. - Eric
I enjoyed listening to your yodio! As a person inexperienced in the musical world I found it very interesting. Reading music is quite honestly mind boggling to me, and the idea of reading human emotion in order to play, interpret, compose music is fascinating. Thank you!
Yay for you Kayln! It's great to see that you are making such significant connections between what you are reading in this class and teaching music. you add so many layers of symbols to interpret that I had even thought of before, i.e. the conductor, historical context. Understanding the processes that readers go through when interpreting symbols will better prepare you for teaching your students to interpret the many symbols of music. It's been interesting watching/helping my 8 year old learn to read music as she learns the piano. It's helping me to see how, in a slow process, she is learning to learn the names of the notes as well as the notes on the keyboard and then making the connection b/w musical notes and notes on the keyboard. It is definitely teaching me a lot!
I really enjoyed this. I love the variety of symbols you mention, how students' ability to read music varies by skill level (just as it does when reading words), and how students/musicians must read the conductor. I love the idea of the layers of the reading process inherent in music: in the sense that a person "reads" an instrument, then learns to read music, then perhaps memorizes the music, then reads the conductor while performing. I love that this really is a process, and that the process of reading just keeps going with music--there's always another level, another layer. There is always more.
You bring a great perspective to this discussion. I hadn't even considered the perspective of a music teacher. You have a special "language" that students must learn to read. Frequently you are teaching them a language they haven't been reading since they kindergarten. I really like the idea that they have to read the conductor as well. Emily touched on the idea of reading emotion and social ques in her yodio post. This is an idea that I had not given much thought to and I'm glad you both have brought it to my attention.
