se Marleen Visser, die kunstenaar. “My krabbels is spontane,
verbeeldingryke lyntekeninge, persepsies en drome van die
alledaagse lewe. Laat jou innerlike kind die klein stories binne-in

The Moving Body in the Aural Skills Classroom-influenced by
Dalcroze-eurhythmics-is a practical guide for college-level
teachers and students interested in integrating the moving body
into the traditional aural skills classroom. What distinguishes
this book from other texts is its central concern with
movement-to-music as a tool for developing musical perception and
the kinesthetic aspects humans experience as performers. Moving to
music and watching others move cultivates an active, multi-sensory
learning experience, in which students learn by discovery and from
each other. Improvisatory and expressive elements are built into
exercises to encourage a dynamic link between musical training and
artistic performance. Designed for a three- to four-semester
undergraduate curriculum, the book contains a wealth of exercises
that teach rhythmic, melodic, harmonic and formal concepts.
Exercises not only develop the ear, but also awaken the muscular
and nervous system, foster mind-body connections, strengthen the
powers of concentration (being in the "musical now "), develop
inner-hearing, short- and long-term memory, multi-tasking skills,
limb autonomy, and expressive freedom. Exercises are presented in a
graded, though flexible order allowing you to select individual
exercises in any sequence. Activities involve movement through
space (traveling movement) as well as movement in place (stationary
movement) for those teaching in small classrooms. The text can be
used as a teacher's manual, a supplementary aural-skills textbook,
or as a stand-alone reference in a course dedicated to eurhythmics.
Movement exercises are designed to enhance and work in conjunction
with musical examples presented in other texts. Many exercises also
provide an effective aural/sensory tool in the music theory
classroom to complement verbal explanations. The approach
integrates easily into any traditional college or conservatory
classroom and is compatible with the following systems: fixed do,
moveable do, and scale degrees. A companion website accompanies the
text featuring undergraduate students performing select exercises.
THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER Discover the funny, uplifting,
occasionally heartbreaking and always honest life story of Phillip
Schofield '[A] fantastic read on such an interesting life' Lorraine
Kelly 'A really smashing book' Michael Ball For forty years we've
watched Phillip on our tellies, from children's TV to This Morning
and Dancing on Ice, but what is it like on set and who is he when
the camera's off? In Life's What You Make It Philip for the first
time takes us behind the scenes of his remarkable career. From his
idyllic childhood in Cornwall, where for years he pestered the BBC
for a job, eventually landing a prize position in the Broom
Cupboard with mischievous sidekick Gordon the Gopher, through
hosting Going Live!, starring in Joseph and the Amazing
Technicolour Dreamcoat and finally finding his on-screen home and
presenting-partner Holly Willoughby on This Morning, Phillip takes
us on the highs and lows of his extraordinary life. ____ 'For a
long time, I felt that I couldn't write this book. At first, I
didn't think I'd lived enough, then life got busy and filled with
distractions. In more recent years, there was always a very painful
consideration - I knew where it would eventually have to go. 'I
have recently decided that the truth is the only thing that can set
me free. The truth has taken a long time to make itself clear to
me, but now is the right time to share it, all of it. 'Television
and broadcasting has been a part of my DNA for as long as I can
remember. As a young boy I would make model TV sets out of
cardboard boxes, while spending long summers at home, barefoot on
Cornwall's golden beaches. Landing a job at the ice-cream kiosk, I
would enviously look on as my presenting heroes took to the stage
of Radio 1's Roadshow, an unforgettable event when it came to town.
'In Life's What You Make It I look back with nostalgic delight on
my life, from being a young boy endlessly writing letters to the
BBC in pursuit of a job in broadcasting, to making it on to the
Broom Cupboard, with my infamous sidekick Gordon the Gopher, to
being on Going Live and starring as the lead in Lord Andrew Lloyd
Webber's Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat. It has
taken four decades to get here but I feel lucky to have called the
sets of Talking Telephone Numbers, The Cube, Dancing on Ice and of
course, This Morning, home. 'I'm going to take you behind the
scenes of my television home at ITV, into my career and my
dangerously funny relationship with Holly Willoughby. I'm going to
introduce you to my loving and remarkable family, and I hope most
of all to tell you that life, it seems, is what you make it. Take
it from someone who has sat on the very edge and looked over, it's
all about the people that love you, and after that anything is
possible. So, finally, here we go, this is the real me.' ____ 'A
beautiful book. There are amazing stories in there about meeting
Princess Diana, the Red Arrows and all of our favourite telly
shows. It's a delight' Zoe Ball, BBC Radio 2 'We have loved your
book - you've been so honest, open, everything that anyone will
have hoped to get from this book . . . you get it. A stroll through
your incredible career and you also tackle, head on, in a really
beautiful way what happened earlier this year' Andrea McLean, Loose
Women 'One of our favourite things is the many hilarious anecdotes
he has to share about his good friend Holly Willoughby' Hello! 'The
book we've all been waiting for . . . we haven't been able to put
it down' New 'A bona fide national treasure . . . He tells his
story in his way, with great honesty' Prima 'A fantastic read!'
Steve Wright, BBC Radio 2

This book of parent-to-parent advice aims to encourage, support,
and bolster the morale of one of music's most important back-up
sections: music parents. Within these pages, more than 150 veteran
music parents contribute their experiences, reflections, warnings,
and helpful suggestions for how to walk the music-parenting
tightrope: how to be supportive but not overbearing, and how to
encourage excellence without becoming bogged down in frustration.
Among those offering advice are the parents of several top
musicians, including the mother of violinist Joshua Bell, the
father of trumpeter Wynton Marsalis, the parents of cellist Alisa
Weilerstein, and those of violinist Anne Akiko Meyers. The book
also features advice from music educators and more than forty
professional musicians, including Paula Robison, Sarah Chang,
Anthony McGill, Jennifer Koh, Jonathan Biss, Toyin Spellman-Diaz,
Marin Alsop, Christian McBride, Miguel Zenon, Stephanie Blythe,
Lawrence Brownlee, and Kelli O'Hara. The topics they discuss span a
wide range of issues faced by the parents of both instrumentalists
and singers, from how to get started to encouraging effective
practice habits, to how to weather the rough spots, cope with the
cost of music training, deal with college and career concerns, and
help young musicians discover the role that music can play in their
lives. The parents who speak here reach a unanimous and
overwhelming conclusion that music parenting is well worth the
effort, and the experiences that come with it - everything from
flying to New York on the weekends to searching a flute convention
for the perfect instrument - enrich family life with a unique joy
in music.

strange or old odd things to see on the way, with this book you
