IRANIAN PROGRESSIVE MUSIC / FUSIONS & ROCK When in 15th century Western civilisation laid its first fundaments, it used many ideas which were developed and described in some Middle Eastern writings. Not only the re-establishment of Greek philosophical fundaments, the principles of justice and many other developments were adapted and further developed. Also fundaments of music were built and directly influenced by some ideas from the Middle East (especially the use of drums and rhythm is more often mentioned). While Iran's structural openness in the '70's to the west became associated with the Shah's directed interests, I don't know what really caused they idea of a revolt against this. There has been, at first, a short period of Iranian pop music which was especially interesting from 1975 until 1979, where some ideas towards progressive music and crossover styles were beginning to be made better possible. "Royal records was the second largest label in Iran. This music compared to its traditional predecessors was quite modern.
OPAL | Open Educational Quality Initiative Online Boxing Timer Music | Video Courses on Academic Earth Students who earn a degree in music can use their studies in a number of fields, with teaching and performing being the most popular. Musicians can specialize in a certain genre, instrument, or type of vocalization; they can work in recording or marketing; or use their knowledge to compose new pieces. Musical scholars, on the other hand, can study music’s history or its intersection with any number of other fields such as anthropology, technology, or healthcare. The possibilities for personalizing this field of study are endless. Sample Courses Given how broad the field is, students majoring in music will want to specialize early in their careers.

Degree Types In addition to choosing a focus, students need to choose an appropriate degree program. Associate Bachelor’s Master’s Ideal Candidates for Music Career Pathways
Association for Cultural Equity What I talk about when I talk about #ukoer - Followers of the Apocalypse I spend a lot of my time talking about #ukoer (#4life!!), and – pretty much as a personal aide memoire that other people may find useful, I’ve decided to add some common links, inferences and my ideas of key outcomes on my personal blog. Do please comment and add to this as you see fit, also please reuse it as you see fit (cc-by). And note that this is on my *personal* blog for a reason, other programme staff offer equally valid perspectives with different emphases. For practical purposes, there have been three main “phases” of UKOER (the large programme led by JISC and the Academy). I tend to characterise them as per the diagram below: This is not in any way to denigrate the excellent earlier work that UKOER directly builds on – basically more than a decade of experience on the cutting edge of digital content and online sharing. With the initial kick off at phase 1, I was acutely aware of two things. There were really three culminations of the programme. (Un)related
Music and Architecture: Confronting the Boundaries between Space and Sound Professor Jonathan Cole My talk this evening is an exploration of the relationship between physical space and musical space. I will explore some of the links which exist between musical composition and architecture. At various points within the lecture, in order to provide some respite, I will be playing excerpts of a selection of pieces which explore the ideas of musical space in individually imaginative ways. A lack of time also means I am not able to include a fully comprehensive study of this subject. Imagine, if you will, that we are able to look inside the mind of the composer at various stages of the creative process. This is of course a generalised account of a complex process, which, for each composer, will be a highly personal and individual experience. From my own experience at this point of epiphany, the inner soundscape is no longer defined purely by an aural dimension, but is clarified and supported by a visualisation of the musical components.

Scopitones.com Broadcast Education: a Response to Coursera | Open Education Coursera is silly. Educational technology news has been all a-flutter over the last few months about the work that Coursera is doing to bring higher education into the open. But I tell you what: I signed up for one of their classes — a course on Science Fiction and Fantasy from the University of Michigan — only to discover something really startling. Really: startling. For six years, I worked at the Community Colleges of Colorado Online (CCCO), a personnel-challenged, entirely adjunct endeavor that provides online courses to all thirteen community colleges in the state. Granted, I’ve only gotten a glance at what Coursera is doing; nonetheless, they appear to be offering the same brand of content that CCCO offered a decade ago — but without the innovations and interactivity available when I left the school. Something seems to be very wrong. Broadcasting Education But that’s not what Mark Edmundson noticed and wrote about in his New York Times editorial of July 20, 2012.
