Would this be considered Early Childhood or Elementary 1 for training? @heathershouldice
@heathershouldice32943 ай бұрын
Hi Kara! I taught my kindergarten classes as primarily informal music guidance, which is more aligned with the Early Childhood PDLCs through GIML. It's all about how to provide a rich musical environment and let the kids implicitly learn music through play. I didn't begin formal music instruction (which is what the Elementary General PDLCs focus on) until 1st grade. I thought of it as giving them the luxury of having a whole school year to hear lots of different tonalities, meters, and styles and to start to interact with the sounds in a playful, developmentally appropriate way (without expecting them to necessarily produce "correct" musical sounds) so that their audiation is ready to go for 1st grade and then we really dig in to skills. :)

I have a few classes who are ready for verbal association and I'm excited to try this with them. What do you have written on the board?
@heathershouldice32949 ай бұрын
Hi Victoria! What's going on in this video is actually generalization, which is one of the levels of inference learning. Earlier in the year, they had experience with verbal association by echoing patterns with solfege and labeling tonic/dominant patterns that they'd heard/sung with solfege. That was the readiness that gave them the tools to start applying solfege to patterns heard neutral syllables (i.e., generalizing). On the board behind me I had small cards on magnets, and each card had a solfege syllable written on it. I never "spell out" music with solfege for students to see, but I used those cards to help them remember what syllables are in what kind of patterns at verbal association. So when they first learn what's in a major tonic pattern, I would put the cards with DO, MI, and SO (stacked vertically) on the board as a tool and then take them away the next lesson so they wouldn't rely on the cards. In this video, because this was the very first day the students had ever been asked to put solfege to patterns, I had those same three cards on the board (again, stacked vertically) as a tool. I never EXPLAINED things like "this one sounds higher so it's the top one, and that one sounds lower so... etc." but just put the cards up there. I actually do a podcast about MLT! If you'd like to learn more about verbal association, I have a series of episodes starting with this one: everydaymusicality.com/2022/02/26/e01-41-intro-to-verbal-association/ Later in the series in episode 47, I talk about bridging to generalization from verbal association. Hope this helps!

@@heathershouldice3294 Thank you for the link regarding Jordan Peterson. I am a massive fan of his but by the same token I don't like the critique put forward via the link you sent. I will endeavour to read the link in depth and try and find context for what was said. As you know context is important. I really worry about society. All I see especially in schools and in band and orchestra in the UK are children not being able to cope with the slightest amount of pressure, extremely overly sensitive, and safe rooms if they cannot cope within the classroom. I then observe their parents who continually molly coddle them. I worry about the suicidal rate amongst teenagers particularly girls not seemingly having the skills to cope with problems in their lives. Whilst I am acutely aware of racism and transphobia and bias of which you yourself have accused me of based on a similar comments I made in a past video you did, but to attack whites is also a form of racism. Peterson is correct in that children need to be socialised in terms of behaviour by 4 or 5 years of age. I have seen children where behaviour is appalling and 9 times out of 10 you can trace it to bad parenting either through neglect or physical abuse or telling them constantly they are bad. The opposite is also true of course. Life is not all happiness. When it comes enjoy it but is all about a balance between order and chaos and taking individual responsibility to make order out of the chaos of life like Peterson says.

The Pronoun “They” is Always Plural. If “they” were truly singular, it would be interchangeable with the singular pronouns “he/she/it.” This can easily be proven false. For example; Peggy is wearing a sweater because she is cold. Let’s substitute “she” with “they” to prove that “they” works in this sentence. Peggy is wearing a sweater because they is cold. “They” and “is” don’t work well together. The verb “are” is traditionally used with “they,” so let’s try something else. Peggy is wearing a sweater because they are cold. Nope, it still doesn’t work. The verbs “is” and “are” don’t work together in this sentence. The verb “is” is singular and “are” is plural, so if they’re both referring to the same noun, they have to agree with each other. Peggy are wearing a sweater because they are cold. How many Peggys are there, and how many can wear the same sweater at the same time? Items of clothing are usually designed for single-person use. Peggy is one person, she is not a crowd of people. In order for “they” to correctly-in a grammatical sense-refer to a single woman named Peggy, the entire English language would have to be restructured. But “They” Has Been Used as a Singular Pronoun Since the Middle Ages! No, it hasn’t. But before we get into that, let’s clarify a few things. Middle English was spoken in the Middle Ages; it’s a different language from Modern English. Middle English had different grammar rules and used words that aren’t spoken today. While it’s true that Modern English was eventually derived from Middle English, they are not the same language. Also, Early Modern English-spoken in Shakespeare’s time-existed between Middle and Modern English. The grammatical changes between Middle and Early Modern English were huge. Middle English didn’t have a cohesive set of rules like Modern English does. There was a large amount of language variation between the regions where Middle English was spoken. Most people who spoke Middle English were uneducated. That’s not true of most people in the modern world, most of us can read and write. Why is this important? Because spoken language is different from written language in that it is often more casual and less grammatically correct. When people speak to each other, they hear voice inflections and see facial expressions and body language, all of which mingle with the words and statements being spoken to create meaning and understanding. This interactive dynamic is impossible to achieve via the written word, which is why writing needs to be more formal than speech. Back to the 14th Century “Singular They.” Sometimes the infamous pronoun is actually called the “singular they” to differentiate it from its more common directly plural usage. The term refers to instances when “they” is used with certain types of grammatically singular words and with hypothetical people. Let’s Address the Singular Words First. Words like each, every, someone, anyone etc. are indeterminate pronouns; they refer to an undetermined number of people, who are of undetermined gender. Words like committee, group, pack, and bunch etc. are collective nouns; they are grammatically singular nouns with plural meanings. “They/Them” are often used with these words, but that doesn’t make “they/them” singular. For example; Every person in the room has their own car. “Every” is a grammatically singular word with a plural meaning. “Person” is grammatically singular and is singular in meaning. The phrase “every person” refers to both a singularity and a plurality. In other words, the sentence refers to the people in the room as a collective group (every), but also as individuals (person) within the group, who each happen to own a car. To put it very simply; one person + several people = several people. Since “they” is referring to both single individuals as well as a group of people; it’s still plural. If we singled one person out of the group, then we’d have a truly singular entity. For example; Mark has his own car. Mark is one person. He owns one car. We use a singular pronoun to refer to him. Mark does not have “their” own car because he is one person, not a group of people. Hypothetical People: This is the use of “they” that confuses people the most, and the use that most people are referring to when they say that “they” was used as a singular pronoun as far back as Middle English. Let’s use the Chaucer quote that is commonly used to prove a “singular they.” “And whoso fyndeth hym out of swich blame, they wol come up and offre in Goddes name, And I assoille him.” - Geoffrey Chaucer, Canterbury Tales, The Pardoners Tale In Modern English, the same sentence is this: “And whoever finds himself out of such blame, he will come up and offer in God’s name, and I will absolve him.” Notice that “they” isn’t in the modern sentence at all. (Reference stanza 385 of Chaucer’s translated writing.) Earlier I mentioned that Middle English had many different regional dialects; it also had multiple spellings for the same words. The insertion of “they” could be a mistake made by a scribe who either copied Chaucer’s original manuscript, or another scribe’s copy of the manuscript. Remember, Chaucer died in 1400. The printing press wasn’t invented until 1439 - 1440ish. (Historians have different opinions on the exact date.) Since Chaucer uses male pronouns in multiple places-excluding “they” in the old reference and the single “he” in the modern translation-there’s a strong possibility that “they” wasn’t intended to be used. Let’s assume that “they” was intended to be in the sentence. “Whoso” is an old form of “whoever” and is a grammatically singular word with a simultaneously singular and plural meaning; it’s another indeterminate pronoun. “Whoso” refers to an undetermined number of people of undetermined gender. “Whoso” is used when talking about hypothetical people. In Chaucer’s sentence, “whoso” is referring to men, and we know this because of the male pronouns; but the number of men and their identities are undetermined so they are still hypothetical. Chaucer is speaking about men as individuals who are part of a group of men, much like the example sentence above that talks about a group of people who own cars. In this case “they” is still plural.

I am sorry but despite everything you teach musically being fantastic I have to totally disagree with everything regarding gender identity. Children, for the most part, are happy with their birth gender and there is a great danger I believe that over-sensitising this issue could make teachers look at boy for instance that shows feminine tendencies and assume wrongly they may have a gender issue that doesn't match their birth sex. I had very feminine tendencies as a young boy particularly in music yet in no way did I have a gender issue. I do agree with gender stereotypes but not making a child showing signs of behaviour contrary to their birth sex and pressurising or brainwashing a child in thinking they may have a gender issue. If I found out a teacher was making my son or daughter that they may have a gender issue I would be furious. I recently saw on KZread a LGBT test titled take the LGBT test so I took it. Because I chose pastel colours the test said I could be gay. Let the child find out for themselves without a teacher brainwashing yes brainwashing a young child into thinking they may be gay or lesbian.

Hi Craig! Thanks for your nice compliment. I'm glad the musical aspects of my videos are received positively. However, it seems that you came to this particular video with some preconceived notions, since you've misinterpreted a great deal of what I said. I never said teachers should tell their students not to call their parents "Mom" or "Dad" or that I don't allow my own child to call me "Mom." I do, however, teach my child and my students that not everyone has a mom, some kids have two moms, etc. It's not about being "disgusting." It's about teaching acceptance for all different kinds of families, as I talked about just after the point at which you said you "had to switch off" the video. I didn't say that children should stop watching Disney movies. I said that we need to present more diverse images in addition to what they already see. I no longer would choose to use a deep voice to represent a father because not all dads have low voices. For example, some trans men choose not to undergo testosterone therapy and thus do not have low voices. Furthermore, not all cis men have low voices, so why perpetuate such a narrow idea of what it means to "be a man?" It's unfortunate that your apparent homophobia and transphobia interfered with your ability to consider the ideas I present in this video. I hope that others in the UK are more accepting and open-minded.

@heathershouldice32942 жыл бұрын
Hi Sterling! R-4B1 refers to a specific page within Learning Sequence Activities (LSAs). LSAs are organized into various units, each of which has different sections and criteria. The code R-4B1 is just a way of abbreviating which page the students were working on. So in the case of R-4B1, R refers to rhythm, 4 refers to rhythm unit 4, B refers to section B (within rhythm unit 4), and 1 refers to criterion 1 (within section B of rhythm unit 4). This sounds complicated, but it's just a way of organizing the pages according to skill level, tonality/meter, and specific skills the students learn.

I saw this again when students fell over in the train activity, as they may have had issues holding themselves up and they were using their hands to catch themselves before falling.

Heather, I just discovered your KZread channel today and have watched a lot of your classroom teaching videos - I was totally blown away by the first grade "informance" in particular, but I've found everything really eye-opening. I found your podcast Everyday Musicality and some of your videos a wee while ago through the MLT groups on Facebook but am so grateful for you putting all of this online. I'm a piano teacher in Aotearoa New Zealand and am at somewhat of a crossroads with my teaching, currently online again during another lockdown. I was planning to do a trip to the States last year and go to do one of the GIML courses but that will have to wait. Anyway, to the video at hand, I haven't seen too many music teachers, especially those who share much of the philosophy of audiation, improvisation and the ear-voice-body connection, talk at length about gender in the music room. Being brought up by two mums and with quite a few LGBTQ+ friends, family and flatmates throughout my life so far, sometimes I forget how far we are from gender equality and gender freedom. Kids especially are quickly brainwashed, and that example with the T-shirts hit hard. I have recently been thinking about musicians, composers, bands I mention with my students, and so much of my "musical norms" are cis white male dominated. Thank you for these recommendations, the food for thought, and for your presence on KZread!

It's all about how to provide a rich musical environment and let the kids implicitly learn music through play. I didn't begin formal music instruction (which is what the Elementary General PDLCs focus on) until 1st grade. I thought of it as giving them the luxury of having a whole school year to hear lots of different tonalities, meters, and styles and to start to interact with the sounds in a playful, developmentally appropriate way (without expecting them to necessarily produce "correct" musical sounds) so that their audiation is ready to go for 1st grade and then we really dig in to skills. :)

I have a few classes who are ready for verbal association and I'm excited to try this with them. What do you have written on the board?
Hi Victoria! What's going on in this video is actually generalization, which is one of the levels of inference learning. Earlier in the year, they had experience with verbal association by echoing patterns with solfege and labeling tonic/dominant patterns that they'd heard/sung with solfege. That was the readiness that gave them the tools to start applying solfege to patterns heard neutral syllables (i.e., generalizing). On the board behind me I had small cards on magnets, and each card had a solfege syllable written on it. I never "spell out" music with solfege for students to see, but I used those cards to help them remember what syllables are in what kind of patterns at verbal association. So when they first learn what's in a major tonic pattern, I would put the cards with DO, MI, and SO (stacked vertically) on the board as a tool and then take them away the next lesson so they wouldn't rely on the cards. In this video, because this was the very first day the students had ever been asked to put solfege to patterns, I had those same three cards on the board (again, stacked vertically) as a tool. I never EXPLAINED things like "this one sounds higher so it's the top one, and that one sounds lower so... etc." but just put the cards up there. I actually do a podcast about MLT! If you'd like to learn more about verbal association, I have a series of episodes starting with this one: everydaymusicality.com/2022/02/26/e01-41-intro-to-verbal-association/ Later in the series in episode 47, I talk about bridging to generalization from verbal association. Hope this helps!

Brilliant!
Great class. I'm very curious, what is the 'trick'? Not sure how you're changing the patterns to set up the trick. -thanks!
Hi Tobias! This was just a general part of my "teacher talk" with my students. I would tell them, "You are just to good at music! I just cannot trick you!" or "Maybe you got it before, but I'm going to be even trickier this time!" I found that this really motivated most of them--that they could "outsmart" the teacher. So in this video I'm just saying "Couldn't trick you/them!" with a frustrated tone as a way of making them feel like they "beat" me. ;)
And are you able to let me know the wording of the training game? what's the 1st two sentences? I only can get "the train is rolling down the track, too too...". Thank you!
It starts "Clackety clack, Clackety clack..."
Thank you so much 💓
Awesome post! I'm currently teaching in the Montessori School, this video gave me lots inspiration. Thank you for sharing!
Glad it's helpful!
Would there be any possibility of showing videos of MLT working with advanced students who engage musically with more complex chord changes, modulations, chromaticism eg jazz and classical works.
What you do for MLT is amazing by the way. I use many of your ideas and I know you care a lot for young children as seen in your passion.
Thanks, Craig! I appreciate the nice compliment and am glad the videos are useful. If you’re not already familiar with my MLT podcast called “Everyday Musicality,” you might want to check it out. :)
@@heathershouldice3294 I read those podcasts all the time. Using words and spoken language makes the sequences quite complicated (which cannot be helped of course) but once understood it is quite simple. Would there be possibilities of videos or podcasts to show it working at a very high level ie complicated chord structures or how to change key using solfege?
Plesse watch Parenting and Narcissists on KZread by JordannPeterson and its argument re transgender and over protection of mothers over their children
I have no interest in anything Jordan Peterson says. I find him repugnant. gayety.co/why-jordan-peterson-is-problematic
@@heathershouldice3294 Thank you for the link regarding Jordan Peterson. I am a massive fan of his but by the same token I don't like the critique put forward via the link you sent. I will endeavour to read the link in depth and try and find context for what was said. As you know context is important. I really worry about society. All I see especially in schools and in band and orchestra in the UK are children not being able to cope with the slightest amount of pressure, extremely overly sensitive, and safe rooms if they cannot cope within the classroom. I then observe their parents who continually molly coddle them. I worry about the suicidal rate amongst teenagers particularly girls not seemingly having the skills to cope with problems in their lives. Whilst I am acutely aware of racism and transphobia and bias of which you yourself have accused me of based on a similar comments I made in a past video you did, but to attack whites is also a form of racism. Peterson is correct in that children need to be socialised in terms of behaviour by 4 or 5 years of age. I have seen children where behaviour is appalling and 9 times out of 10 you can trace it to bad parenting either through neglect or physical abuse or telling them constantly they are bad. The opposite is also true of course. Life is not all happiness. When it comes enjoy it but is all about a balance between order and chaos and taking individual responsibility to make order out of the chaos of life like Peterson says.

This blew my mind! I've been studying MLT for a few months now and am currently listening to your podcast. What song is this? If you don't mind me asking
Hi Stephen! The song is "The Big Grey Shark," which I sing as "The Big BLUE Shark." :) It was written by a teacher friend, David Lurie. You can find it in this handout: everydaymusicality.files.wordpress.com/2020/03/shouldice-improv-handout-2.0.pdf
Thank you for being unapologetically inclusive. The world has such a long way to come but your efforts and fight are appreciated (by those who see the real issue).
Hate breeds Hate.
The Pronoun “They” is Always Plural. If “they” were truly singular, it would be interchangeable with the singular pronouns “he/she/it.” This can easily be proven false. For example; Peggy is wearing a sweater because she is cold. Let’s substitute “she” with “they” to prove that “they” works in this sentence. Peggy is wearing a sweater because they is cold. “They” and “is” don’t work well together. The verb “are” is traditionally used with “they,” so let’s try something else. Peggy is wearing a sweater because they are cold. Nope, it still doesn’t work. The verbs “is” and “are” don’t work together in this sentence. The verb “is” is singular and “are” is plural, so if they’re both referring to the same noun, they have to agree with each other. Peggy are wearing a sweater because they are cold. How many Peggys are there, and how many can wear the same sweater at the same time? Items of clothing are usually designed for single-person use. Peggy is one person, she is not a crowd of people. In order for “they” to correctly-in a grammatical sense-refer to a single woman named Peggy, the entire English language would have to be restructured. But “They” Has Been Used as a Singular Pronoun Since the Middle Ages! No, it hasn’t. But before we get into that, let’s clarify a few things. Middle English was spoken in the Middle Ages; it’s a different language from Modern English. Middle English had different grammar rules and used words that aren’t spoken today. While it’s true that Modern English was eventually derived from Middle English, they are not the same language. Also, Early Modern English-spoken in Shakespeare’s time-existed between Middle and Modern English. The grammatical changes between Middle and Early Modern English were huge. Middle English didn’t have a cohesive set of rules like Modern English does. There was a large amount of language variation between the regions where Middle English was spoken. Most people who spoke Middle English were uneducated. That’s not true of most people in the modern world, most of us can read and write. Why is this important? Because spoken language is different from written language in that it is often more casual and less grammatically correct. When people speak to each other, they hear voice inflections and see facial expressions and body language, all of which mingle with the words and statements being spoken to create meaning and understanding. This interactive dynamic is impossible to achieve via the written word, which is why writing needs to be more formal than speech. Back to the 14th Century “Singular They.” Sometimes the infamous pronoun is actually called the “singular they” to differentiate it from its more common directly plural usage. The term refers to instances when “they” is used with certain types of grammatically singular words and with hypothetical people. Let’s Address the Singular Words First. Words like each, every, someone, anyone etc. are indeterminate pronouns; they refer to an undetermined number of people, who are of undetermined gender. Words like committee, group, pack, and bunch etc. are collective nouns; they are grammatically singular nouns with plural meanings. “They/Them” are often used with these words, but that doesn’t make “they/them” singular. For example; Every person in the room has their own car. “Every” is a grammatically singular word with a plural meaning. “Person” is grammatically singular and is singular in meaning. The phrase “every person” refers to both a singularity and a plurality. In other words, the sentence refers to the people in the room as a collective group (every), but also as individuals (person) within the group, who each happen to own a car. To put it very simply; one person + several people = several people. Since “they” is referring to both single individuals as well as a group of people; it’s still plural. If we singled one person out of the group, then we’d have a truly singular entity. For example; Mark has his own car. Mark is one person. He owns one car. We use a singular pronoun to refer to him. Mark does not have “their” own car because he is one person, not a group of people. Hypothetical People: This is the use of “they” that confuses people the most, and the use that most people are referring to when they say that “they” was used as a singular pronoun as far back as Middle English. Let’s use the Chaucer quote that is commonly used to prove a “singular they.” “And whoso fyndeth hym out of swich blame, they wol come up and offre in Goddes name, And I assoille him.” - Geoffrey Chaucer, Canterbury Tales, The Pardoners Tale In Modern English, the same sentence is this: “And whoever finds himself out of such blame, he will come up and offer in God’s name, and I will absolve him.” Notice that “they” isn’t in the modern sentence at all. (Reference stanza 385 of Chaucer’s translated writing.) Earlier I mentioned that Middle English had many different regional dialects; it also had multiple spellings for the same words. The insertion of “they” could be a mistake made by a scribe who either copied Chaucer’s original manuscript, or another scribe’s copy of the manuscript. Remember, Chaucer died in 1400. The printing press wasn’t invented until 1439 - 1440ish. (Historians have different opinions on the exact date.) Since Chaucer uses male pronouns in multiple places-excluding “they” in the old reference and the single “he” in the modern translation-there’s a strong possibility that “they” wasn’t intended to be used. Let’s assume that “they” was intended to be in the sentence. “Whoso” is an old form of “whoever” and is a grammatically singular word with a simultaneously singular and plural meaning; it’s another indeterminate pronoun. “Whoso” refers to an undetermined number of people of undetermined gender. “Whoso” is used when talking about hypothetical people. In Chaucer’s sentence, “whoso” is referring to men, and we know this because of the male pronouns; but the number of men and their identities are undetermined so they are still hypothetical. Chaucer is speaking about men as individuals who are part of a group of men, much like the example sentence above that talks about a group of people who own cars. In this case “they” is still plural.
Merriam-Webster disagrees with you. www.merriam-webster.com/words-at-play/singular-nonbinary-they-is-or-they-are So does APA style. apastyle.apa.org/style-grammar-guidelines/grammar/singular-they And the Oxford English Dictionary. public.oed.com/blog/a-brief-history-of-singular-they/ And the Brittanica Dictionary. www.britannica.com/dictionary/eb/qa/The-Singular-They But what do they know. Clearly Justin knows all.
Someone left an ignorant comment on my video. I wonder who they are and why they think they are right.
@@heathershouldice3294 it's not ignorant - it's the bloody English language. Considering I explained every detail about my position and why I am right, all you do is insult. I think you should stick to music and leave language and gender out of it and particularly away from children.
@@heathershouldice3294 sadly most do disagree, because they bend to the will of activists rather than logic, common sense and language. I even explained why Merriam Webster is wrong. I used the same examples.
@@heathershouldice3294 additionally, I have to say most comments to this video seem to be in my "ignorant" favor, not yours. I can see why you like to turn off comments on some of your other videos - you can't take the truth.
No, little kids don't need to know this shit. This is absolutely disgusting! More and more parents are pulling their kids out of school because of these leftist agendas going on in the schools.
Once you got to heteronormativity and not saying mum and dad I had to switch off. So Heather you don't allow your child to call you mum? Disgusting. What is happening to the US?
Are you going to stop children watching Disney movies?
Are you therefore going to encourage children that they shouldn't refer to their parents as mom and dad. In years to come it will be interesting to find out what affect being brought up by single sex parents will have on children and society. Already in schools I teach in cannot cope with life. More teenagers that are now questioning their sexuality beciase of all this LGBT rubbish is causing changing their bodies, suicides and not being able to cope in the world. What if a boy wants to known as a boy or male or someone who wants to play aggressively or in a stereotypical way or if a girl wishes to push a pram and have a doll. Are you going to stop them doing so?
Yes you are putting these ideas into their heads. They are young and incredibly naive and vulnerable. Shame on you Heather
Excuse me but what is wrong with daddy being represented as having a low voice. A man's voice breaks so can have a deep voice. Use of pronouns is ridiculous and incredibly dangerous. A child may choose a non binary pronoun simply because it just feels cool to choose something different. Having watched this it is obvious that you are most definitely are not an expert in this field. What you are doing is dangerous. Period!
I am sorry but despite everything you teach musically being fantastic I have to totally disagree with everything regarding gender identity. Children, for the most part, are happy with their birth gender and there is a great danger I believe that over-sensitising this issue could make teachers look at boy for instance that shows feminine tendencies and assume wrongly they may have a gender issue that doesn't match their birth sex. I had very feminine tendencies as a young boy particularly in music yet in no way did I have a gender issue. I do agree with gender stereotypes but not making a child showing signs of behaviour contrary to their birth sex and pressurising or brainwashing a child in thinking they may have a gender issue. If I found out a teacher was making my son or daughter that they may have a gender issue I would be furious. I recently saw on KZread a LGBT test titled take the LGBT test so I took it. Because I chose pastel colours the test said I could be gay. Let the child find out for themselves without a teacher brainwashing yes brainwashing a young child into thinking they may be gay or lesbian.
Hi Craig! Thanks for your nice compliment. I'm glad the musical aspects of my videos are received positively. However, it seems that you came to this particular video with some preconceived notions, since you've misinterpreted a great deal of what I said. I never said teachers should tell their students not to call their parents "Mom" or "Dad" or that I don't allow my own child to call me "Mom." I do, however, teach my child and my students that not everyone has a mom, some kids have two moms, etc. It's not about being "disgusting." It's about teaching acceptance for all different kinds of families, as I talked about just after the point at which you said you "had to switch off" the video. I didn't say that children should stop watching Disney movies. I said that we need to present more diverse images in addition to what they already see. I no longer would choose to use a deep voice to represent a father because not all dads have low voices. For example, some trans men choose not to undergo testosterone therapy and thus do not have low voices. Furthermore, not all cis men have low voices, so why perpetuate such a narrow idea of what it means to "be a man?" It's unfortunate that your apparent homophobia and transphobia interfered with your ability to consider the ideas I present in this video. I hope that others in the UK are more accepting and open-minded.
@@heathershouldice3294 your teaching music - stick to that and keep your activist leftist ideology to yourself. This is disgusting.
@@justinforshaw2022 I may be just a music teacher, but I can help you learn that it's "you're", not "your."
@@heathershouldice3294 you're gonna argue over a typo from a tiny phone keyboard now to try and justify your point? Don't make me laugh.
I agree with you. The teacher Heather's musical work is, indisputably, wonderful! However, children should be treated like CHILDREN! It is not the role of the music teacher (indeed, of no other) to promote this type of ideological agenda. The Music Teacher's job should be to take exclusive care of the musical teaching-learning process of each of their students, and absolutely nothing else!

Wow i loved the way you sing that high notes good job

What does R-4B1 mean in the rhythm learning sequence?
Hi Sterling! R-4B1 refers to a specific page within Learning Sequence Activities (LSAs). LSAs are organized into various units, each of which has different sections and criteria. The code R-4B1 is just a way of abbreviating which page the students were working on. So in the case of R-4B1, R refers to rhythm, 4 refers to rhythm unit 4, B refers to section B (within rhythm unit 4), and 1 refers to criterion 1 (within section B of rhythm unit 4). This sounds complicated, but it's just a way of organizing the pages according to skill level, tonality/meter, and specific skills the students learn. I talk all about LSAs in this episode of my MLT podcast: everydaymusicality.com/2021/05/04/e01-27-intro-to-lsas/

This was in Michigan, way back in 2009 or 2010!
Let the students misbehave
Hi, I love your lesson! I am looking for ideas for a lesson plan for a kindergarten music lesson as a substitute teacher. What is the reason you always sing (also your instructions) is it to keep their attention or to remind them of the tonality for the root note game? or is it just for fun? Very nice activities, you gave me a lot of inspiration, thank you!
Hi! Glad the video is helpful. There are two reasons why I sing my instructions. The primary reason is to maintain the tonal context of the song and keep the music going. The second is that it is physically less taxing on the voice to stay in my singing voice than to switch back and forth between speaking and singing.
@@heathershouldice3294 Thank you so much! I was just curious, I will keep that in mind when I start teaching! :D

I love this so much Heather! I'm a vocal teacher from Singapore. I have been watching a lot of your videos and am very new to MLT. This definitely helps with getting me acculturated with MLT! Also have been listening to your podcast, it is super helpful. Got your book as well but haven't got started on reading it. You're amazing!! Thank you for all these valuable resources!
I'm so glad everything is helpful, Rayhan! :)
Hi! For the most part, I like this video. However, I feel as though you were being a bit harsh with how the students sit, mainly with how they were told they wouldn't be able to participate in something if they didn't sit a specific way. I know and have worked with many students who are extremely uncomfortable sitting cross-legged. I saw this again when students fell over in the train activity, as they may have had issues holding themselves up and they were using their hands to catch themselves before falling. It just broke my heart a little bit that a student could be uncomfortable or in pain because they are expected to sit/move a certain way just because everyone else can.
Thanks for making that point, Monica! I don’t recall a child ever telling me it hurt them to sit that way. If they had, I would have let them sit another way. I asked them to sit cross-legged particularly during the train activity so that all the kids could get close enough to each other to put hands on shoulders. I haven’t actually watched this video in a while, but typically when they fall over in that activity, it’s because they or someone around them is a little too excited or being a little too silly. 😊
@@heathershouldice3294 hi again! Sorry I didn’t reply. This is not my main account and I forgot I was signed into it. Yeah I assume you know your students and what they need. As someone with physical and mental disabilities, it is just something I think about a lot, as I was always very uncomfortable when being told to do specific things that hurt me either physically or emotionally. Thank you so much for your reply!
Heather, I just discovered your KZread channel today and have watched a lot of your classroom teaching videos - I was totally blown away by the first grade "informance" in particular, but I've found everything really eye-opening. I found your podcast Everyday Musicality and some of your videos a wee while ago through the MLT groups on Facebook but am so grateful for you putting all of this online. I'm a piano teacher in Aotearoa New Zealand and am at somewhat of a crossroads with my teaching, currently online again during another lockdown. I was planning to do a trip to the States last year and go to do one of the GIML courses but that will have to wait. Anyway, to the video at hand, I haven't seen too many music teachers, especially those who share much of the philosophy of audiation, improvisation and the ear-voice-body connection, talk at length about gender in the music room. Being brought up by two mums and with quite a few LGBTQ+ friends, family and flatmates throughout my life so far, sometimes I forget how far we are from gender equality and gender freedom. Kids especially are quickly brainwashed, and that example with the T-shirts hit hard. I have recently been thinking about musicians, composers, bands I mention with my students, and so much of my "musical norms" are cis white male dominated. Thank you for these recommendations, the food for thought, and for your presence on KZread!
Thank you so much for sharing, Cam! We do still have a lot of work to do!
Yes they are brainwashed into thinking they is something wrong with them should they show a gender difference to their current gender at such a young age. Leave the children alone until fully sexually mature. All these pronoun labels is making children confused stressed and even suicidal. Stop this wokeness
Love the CRT computer monitors, they brought me back childhood days.
