For consonants, it classifies them by voicing, manner of articulation, and point of articulation, listing the various consonant sounds in each category.
Prevention of musculoskeletal injuries in performing artistsPhilip Copeland
This document discusses common injuries that musicians and vocalists may experience and provides tips for prevention and treatment. It recommends warming up to gradually prepare the body, taking active breaks to recover during practice or performances, and cooling down afterward. Proper posture, a good instrument fit, endurance, flexibility, and addressing any pain or discomfort are also covered to help performing artists avoid injury and maintain their health.
This document contains summaries and feedback from rehearsals preparing for an international competition. It grades and provides triage for pieces in Categories 1 and 2, as well as the Grand Prix section. Overall the assessment found strengths in pieces like "Salve Regina", "Homesick Blues", and "Nunc" but also identified areas needing improvement like memory work, diction, dynamics, and precision of pitches in pieces such as "Yver", "Mille Regrets", "O Schöne", and "Nyon". The document aims to guide further rehearsals by highlighting specific issues to focus on for each piece.
Sharon Mays and Chris Barbee shared a love story together. Their relationship was documented from its beginning. In the end, their love story concluded, as the document's title "The End of A Love Story" suggests.
The summary of the document is:
The choir director outlines how membership in the school's a cappella choir will decline sharply from 51 members to just 7 by 2016 due to graduating seniors, with only one member (Micheal Megginson) remaining by 2017. They request help from current choir members to recruit more male singers, especially baritones and basses, to join in the following years to save the choir program.

This document discusses how technology is changing education and provides tips for music educators to adapt. It notes that today's students have grown up with technology and are more knowledgeable than the current education system was designed for. It encourages educators to educate themselves on technology to stay relevant. The presentation aims to help educators understand educational technology changes, improve their skills, and work smarter. It promotes creating a personal learning network through blogs, Twitter, YouTube and other tools to collaboratively share ideas. Educators are advised to synchronize their professional development using cloud computing and tools like Dropbox, Evernote, and SlideShare.
This document provides information about English consonants:
1) It defines consonants and explains their classification based on voicing, place of articulation, and manner of articulation.
2) It discusses the major consonant categories including plosives, nasals, fricatives, and affricates, providing examples of each.
3) It provides practice transcribing words and includes a poem for additional practice identifying consonants.
The document defines diphthongs as vowel sounds containing two vowel sounds in a single syllable. It identifies the primary vowel sound, quick movement between sounds, and secondary vowel sound as characteristics of diphthongs. Specific diphthongs in English are identified such as [aɪ], [ɛɪ], [ɔɪ], [ɑɔ], [oʊ], and examples and spellings for each are provided. Triphthongs are also defined as containing three vowel sounds in one syllable.
The document discusses the English vowel system. It begins with an English vowel triangle that shows the positions of tongue for different pure vowels. It then provides more details on individual vowels, including their phonetic symbols, example words that contain the vowels, common pronunciation issues, and practice phrases. The document aims to help readers distinguish and produce English vowel sounds correctly.
The document outlines the steps for preparing a score for diction, which include eliminating non-essential text, using white-out or technology to produce a clean score, writing phonetic transcriptions under the precise syllables being sung, and supplying a word-by-word translation above each word. The presentation was created by Philip L. Copeland based on details from Dr. Sharon Lawhon.
The document provides an introduction to diction for singers. It discusses the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) as a true phonetic alphabet where each symbol represents one sound. It notes that the English language is not a phonetic language, as sounds and spellings are often not the same. For example, the vowel sound 'ee' can be spelled seven different ways. The document also discusses dialects and exceptions to standard pronunciation when singing. It emphasizes learning IPA, listening to recordings, and working with a voice teacher to properly train diction skills.
Conducting qualifications - do you have what it takes to be a conductorPhilip Copeland
The document discusses the important qualifications for a successful conductor from the perspectives of several experts. It identifies musical qualifications like strong musicianship, understanding performance practices of different periods, and the ability to communicate ideas through silent gestures. Personal qualifications mentioned include total commitment to the music, leadership skills, passion for communicating through words and gestures, understanding how people learn, honesty, self-motivation, enthusiasm for the work, and genuine concern for people.
The conductor has experience leading orchestras and hopes to improve their skills through this class. They are not frightened about conducting but want to ensure the class covers everything needed. The plan for today is to review the syllabus, discuss what will be covered in the class, and examine the basic conducting techniques.
This document provides travel guidelines and safety tips for a choir group traveling to France and Spain. It outlines what to pack and not pack in carry-on luggage, how to navigate airports and customs, guidelines for using public transportation, money conversion rates, and advice for interacting with locals and staying safe.

Pérotin was a French composer active in the late 12th to early 13th century who was a member of the Notre Dame school of polyphony. He was called "Pérotin the Great" and is known for composing organum, where he added voices above and below Gregorian chant to create harmonies of perfect fourths and fifths. Pérotin began writing organum with three and four voices, using rhythmic modes for the upper voices and techniques like voice exchange. One of his most famous works is Viderunt omnes, composed in 1198.
The document discusses different types of medieval era compositions including:
1) Lauda - simple Italian devotional songs composed for private use with a verse/refrain format.
2) Church dramas - biblical stories set to monophonic melodies for soloists and chorus, often associated with liturgical feasts.
3) Monophonic compositions were divided into four periods including St. Martial known for two-voiced organum styles, Notre Dame known for liturgical works by Léonin and Pérotin, and Ars Antiqua which continued with rhythmically active upper parts set to French texts over chant-based lower parts.
The document provides an overview of medieval era music from 900 to 1500 AD, noting that the early period consisted mainly of monophonic chants and songs while the later period saw the rise of polyphonic masses, motets, and secular songs. It describes the different categories of Gregorian chant that developed based on historical time, geography, and usage, and provides examples of some of the most well known and influential chants from the era along with their characteristics.
Do you have the personality for teaching copyPhilip Copeland
A slightly altered version of Dr. David Snyder's presentation to music education students at Illinois State University. http://finearts.illinoisstate.edu/profiles/default.aspx?q=BM200807100027&unitAbbr=schoolofmusic
This document provides an overview of consonant sounds in English, including their classification, place and manner of articulation. It discusses all major consonant categories such as plosives, fricatives, nasals, affricates and others. For each consonant, it provides details on voicing, place of articulation and common problems. It includes practice transcribing words containing different consonant sounds and provides sample sentences to demonstrate their usage in context.
The document discusses different glide consonant sounds in English:
- The [r] sound can be pronounced in two ways, as an American/touched [r] or British/flipped [r].
- [j] is the voiced palatal glide found in words like "young" and spellings like "hallelujah".
- [w] is the voiced bilabial glide found in words like "one" and "won".
- [hw] is the noisy bilabial glide found in words like "which" and "awhile".
- Examples of words and phrases are provided to demonstrate each glide sound.
1. Consonants are sounds that interfere with the flow of breath and can be classified based on voicing, place of articulation, and manner of articulation.
2. The key consonants are classified as plosives [p, b, t, d, k, g], fricatives [v, f, θ, ð, z, s, ʒ, ʃ, h], and nasals [m, n, ŋ].
3. Common problems include insufficient nasal resonance, inadequate duration of sounds, and substitution of one sound for another. Precise articulation of consonants is important for clear diction.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...indexPub
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.
