This essay aims to bring to light other ways of learning and teaching music, with the object of revisiting musical practices existing in different parts of Brazil, which are invisible in disparate music courses. In this reflective weaving, experiences and conceptual immersions acquired in diverse sociocultural contexts will be interposed. Through dialogues with fundamental theorists such as Brandão (1983) and Prudente (2019), the deconstruction of the hegemony of Western music in relation to the ancestral knowledge of traditional peoples will be the guardians and maintainers of emancipatory musical practices, which intersect in different dimensions of making and teaching music.

Contemporary society is rich with diverse musics and musical practices, many of which are supported or shared via digital and social media. Music educators might address such forms of musical engagement to diversify what occurs in music programs. Realizing the possibilities of social media and addressing issues that might be problematic for music learning and teaching calls for conceptualizing social media in a more expansive manner than focusing on the technology itself. Situating people’s social media use and musical engagement in a larger context of participatory culture that involves music and media may be fruitful in this regard. We might then consider the potential of social media and musical engagement in participatory cultures for music learning and teaching. This chapter offers an overview of how people are applying aspects of participatory culture and social media in educational contexts. Building on work in media studies, media arts, education, and curricular theory, the chapter develops a framework for translating and recontextualizing participatory culture, musical engagement, and social media in ways that might inform music pedagogy and curriculum. In this way, it may help music educators move from an awareness of how people engage with and through music and social media in participatory culture to an orientation of developing related praxis.

Because reading is not a natural process like language, young learners must be taught to read. Knowledge about how the reading brain develops has critical implications for understanding which teaching methods to use and helps reconceptualize previous debates. In this excerpt from Reader Come Home: The Reading Brain in a Digital World, Maryanne Wolf describes how many different parts of the brain must work together when reading and why each requires attention in teaching. She delves into research into different reader profiles, each of which needs different emphases in reading instruction, and she explains the value of teaching approaches that include both explicit instruction in decoding and deep reading processes, and engagement by learner and teacher with the world of words and stories.

Polarisation Vision

This chapter explores how vision is used by animals and the diversity in ways of seeing. It first details how colour vision works, focusing on the example of honeybees, which, like humans, are trichromatic and have good colour vision. Bees have a dedicated ultraviolet (UV) receptor, and then one for seeing shortwave (blue) and mediumwave (green) light. Other animals deviate more substantially, in that they have either more or fewer receptors used in colour vision, and hence different ‘dimensions’ of colour perception. The chapter then considers how jumping spiders use UV vision in identifying known or suitable prey species, as well as in mating. It also looks at polarisation vision in mantis shrimp. Mantis shrimp are bizarre in the number of receptors they have, each sensitive to different parts of the light spectrum. Finally, the chapter assesses how toads recognize prey from non-prey. The toad’s visual system acts as a ‘feature detector’ based on several stages of visual processing, producing a quick and appropriate response to a set of criteria that reliably encode objects of particular importance—in this case, food.

Passage To The Limit

A new method of partial decomposition of a domain is proposed for partial differential equations, depending on a small parameter. It is based on the information about the structure of the asymptotic solution in different parts of the domain. The principal idea of the method is to extract the subdomain of singular behavior of the solution and to simplify the problem in the subdomain of regular behavior of the solution. The special interface conditions are imposed on the common boundary of these partially decomposed subdomains. If, for example, the domain depends on the small parameter and some parts of the domain change their dimension after the passage to the limit, then the proposed method reduces the initial problem to the system of equations posed in the domains of different dimensions with the special interface conditions.

Introduction: Sleep is an essential element for maintaining health, which is associated with several factors in improving its quality, including the use of a suitable pillow that, with effective support, can support the spine in the neck area and it prevents complications such as headache, neck pain and shoulder pain .The purpose of this study was to provide a suitable pillow design in accordance with the dimensions of Iranian people for proper support in both back and flank positions. Materials and Methods: 84 volunteers (40 males and 44 females) with an average age of 29/47 years (SD=7/91) were enrolled. Anthropometric characteristics such as head width in the ear area, head length, head height, etc. were determined using a caliper, a Canon SX60HS camera, a digimizer software, Excel and SPSS version 20. Different percentiles of the body dimensions of men and women were calculated. The findings were used to calculate the dimensions of different parts of the ergonomic pillow. Results: Based on different dimensions of the head, neck and shoulder area in the sample, the pillow was designed with a width of 70 and a depth of 26/4 cm for men and a width of 65 and a depth of 26/4 cm for women. Discussion and Conclusion: It is anticipated that the pillow designed according to anthropometric measurements of Iranian subjects can reduce head and neck pain and spinal problems. It is also recommended that other research has to be done to standardize the dimensions and type of pillow material in all parts of Iran.

The social projects in music are a modern topic in the field of music education. Due to the importance of the point provided here, it is indicated the expansion of the object learning and teaching music beyond the aspects of social context in which these music social projects are inserted. Therefore, we seek to achieve an expanded look at the musical experiences offered in social projects not only in Brazil, but also in contexts with refugees originally from countries at war. In this article, we also illustrate experiences in social projects located in North Dakota, in the United States. Through dialogues with researchers of music education, we seek to reflect on the situation of refugees from countries at war, the sense of belonging, and the role of music education in communities in relation to the demands that permeate the musical aspects.

This book investigates the role that music has played in the development of Easter Island (Rapa Nui) cultural heritage from the late nineteenth century to the early twenty-first century. Contrary to prevailing discourses of cultural loss and collapse, it argues that the continuity of Rapanui musical practices can be considered as evidence of cultural survival and continuity. The descriptions of music provided here extend beyond considerations of aesthetics, toward an appreciation of what it means for a once-endangered culture to survive, and to thrive, and the contribution that music can make to this process. It discusses how the Rapanui have carefully nurtured ancestral knowledge passed down over generations, as well as embracing a world of trans-Pacific cultural flows. It investigates five key domains of musical influence on Rapa Nui: ancient tradition, Christian music, Chilean influences, Polynesian influences, and influences derived from global popular culture.

The Kodály method of teaching music literacy was used by the writer to teach Western music notation to elementary students, at the laboratory school of Kasetsart University in Thailand for six years. The students achieved good competencies in reading music, singing and playing the recorder. The method was afterwards disseminated to music teachers of municipal schools in Bangkok and was accepted. It seems that the method will spread further to other groups of music teachers.
