The Score, the Orchestra, and the Conductor

Known internationally for his work as a teacher of conducting, Gustav Meier's influence in the field cannot be overstated. In The Score, the Orchestra and the Conductor, Meier demystifies the conductor's craft with explanations and illustrations of what the conductor must know to attain podium success. He provides useful information from the rudimentary to the sophisticated, and offers specific and readily applicable advice for technical and musical matters essential to the conductor's first rehearsal with the orchestra. This book details many topics that otherwise are unavailable to the aspiring and established conductor, including the use of the common denominator, the "The ZIG-ZAG method", a multiple, cross-indexed glossary of orchestral instruments in four languages, an illustrated description of string harmonics, and a comprehensive listing of voice categories, their overlaps, dynamic ranges and repertory. The Score, the Orchestra and the Conductor is an indispensable addition to the library of every conductor and conducting student.

Scottish Education (PDF)

This detailed, informed and critical account of contemporary education in Scotland examines each of the main sectors in depth: early years, primary, secondary, further and higher education. It scrutinises the historical, cultural, political, and socio-economic dimensions within which schools, colleges and universities operate. Featuring 67 new authors and updated and expanded throughout, this fifth edition is so substantially updated from the previous edition as to practically constitute a new book. The contributors have drawn on up-to-date research and professional analysis to give fresh insights into recent educational developments – in particular during the period from the Independence referendum in 2014, through the complexities of the post-Brexit years. These have been years when education has faced difficult challenges and the writers analyse the many factors affecting teachers’ efforts to operate during uncertain times. This latest edition contains forthright and informed commentary on every aspect of education and is essential reading for anyone concerned to know how education currently ‘works’ in Scotland.

Scottish Gaelic in Twelve Weeks: With Free Audio Download

Scottish Gaelic in Twelve Weeks has been written both as a self-tuition course for beginners and also for use within the classroom. You may want to learn Gaelic because of a general interest in Celtic or Scottish history and culture, or because it was the everyday language of your ancestors. The cynical observer may wonder if the exercise is worthwhile, when only 1.5 per cent of Scotland’s population speak the language.However, Gaelic is far from dead; in some parts of the Highlands and Western Isles it is the everyday language and it represents an important part of the United Kingdom’s cultural mix. There are Gaelic-learning classes in almost every area of Scotland. Each lesson in the book contains some essential points of grammar explained and illustrated, exercises, a list of new vocabulary (with a guide to pronunciation, using the International Phonetics Alphabet), and an item of conversation.

The Scout Mindset: Why Some People See Things Clearly and Others Don't

Winner of best smart thinking book 2022 (Business Book Awards)Guardian best books of 2021'Original, thought-provoking and a joy to read' Tim Harford'Highly recommended. It's not easy to become (more of) a scout, but it's hard not to be inspired by this book' Rutger BregmanWhen it comes to what we believe, humans see what they want to see. In other words, we have what Julia Galef calls a 'soldier' mindset. From tribalism and wishful thinking, to rationalising in our personal lives and everything in between, we are driven to defend the ideas we most want to believe - and shoot down those we don't.But if we want to get things right more often we should train ourselves to think more like a scout. Unlike the soldier, a scout's goal isn't to defend one side over the other. It's to go out, survey the territory, and come back with as accurate a map as possible. Regardless of what they hope to be the case, above all, the scout wants to know what's actually true.In The Scout Mindset, Galef shows that what makes scouts better at getting things right isn't that they're smarter or more knowledgeable than everyone else. It's a handful of emotional skills, habits, and ways of looking at the world - which anyone can learn. With fascinating examples ranging from how to survive being stranded in the middle of the ocean, to how Jeff Bezos avoids overconfidence, to how superforecasters outperform CIA operatives, to Reddit threads and modern partisan politics, Galef explores why our brains deceive us and what we can do to change the way we think.'With insights that are both sharp and actionable, The Scout Mindset picks up where Predictably Irrational left off. Reading it will teach you to think more clearly, see yourself more accurately, and be wrong a little less often' Adam Grant

Scratch Music Projects

In this practical, project-based book, music students, educators, and coders receive the necessary tools to engage with real-world experiences in computation and creativity using the programming language Scratch. Designed to teach students the fundamental concepts of computational thinking through interactive music, sound, and media, projects vary in complexity and encourage readers to make music through playing and creating music. This book introduces readers to concepts in computational thinking and coding alongside parallel concepts in music, creative sound, and interaction. The book begins with a gentle introduction to the Scratch 3.0 programming environment through hands-on projects using a computer keyboard and mouse to make music and control sounds, creating original sounds, and performing them as an instrument. The next chapters introduce programming musical sequences, melodies, and structures, and assembling them into a virtual band that can be performed live or automated through algorithms. The final chapters explore computational thinking and music in the contexts of making games with sound effects, teaching the computer to generate music using algorithms and rules, interacting with music using live video, finishing with a chapter on musical live coding, where readers will create and manipulate computer code to perform, improvise, and create original music live.

ScreeLing: handleiding

Doel van de testMet de ScreeLing is screent men in korte tijd op afatische stoornissen op de linguïstische niveaus semantiek (woordbetekenis), fonologie (klankherkenning) en syntaxis (zinsstructuur). Het unieke van de ScreeLing is dat deze taalverwerkingsniveaus in één test verenigd zijn. Nog belangrijker is dat de ScreeLing al in de eerste week na een beroerte of een hersentrauma kan worden afgenomen. Door in een vroeg stadium de ScreeLing af te nemen, kan snel met gerichte therapie (bijvoorbeeld cognitief-linguïstische therapie) worden gestart. Zo wordt ingespeeld op het natuurlijke herstel van de neurale circuits die verantwoordelijk zijn voor de semantische, fonologische en/of syntactische taalverwerking. Het resultaat van de therapie verbetert daarmee. Daarnaast helpt vroegtijdig inzicht in het linguïstische patroon van de afatische stoornis patiënten en hun familie om beter om te gaan met moeilijke communicatieve situaties. In de eerste drie maanden na het ontstaan van het hersenletsel kan de ScreeLing worden gebruikt om herstelpatronen vast te stellen, al dan niet in samenhang met gegeven therapie. Ook in het chronische stadium van de afasie  kan de Screeling worden ingezet om snel een globaal beeld te krijgen van de aangetaste linguïstische niveaus.Toepassing• Screening: stelt stoornissen vast in de linguïstische niveaus semantiek, fonologie en syntaxis• Diagnostiek: geeft een eerste indicatie van de afatische stoornis, waarna de afasie uitgebreider kan worden onderzocht.• Behandeling: geeft een indicatie voor de te kiezen therapie• Evaluatie: brengt herstelpatronen in kaart en het effect van therapie.Wat meet de ScreeLing?De ScreeLing meet het functioneren van afatici op het gebied van de semantiek, fonologie en syntaxis. Voor een zo specifiek mogelijke diagnostiek zijn deze hoofdschalen steeds onderverdeeld in 4 subschalen (diagnostische taken) die de essentie weergeven van de taalverwerking op de drie gebieden.• Semantiek: 1. matchen woord/afbeelding 2. beoordeling semantisch goede en foute zinnen 3. woordassociatie 4. categoriseren (‘odd word out’)• Fonologie: 1. nazeggen 2. hardop lezen 3. foneemgelijkenis 4. foneemanalyse• Syntaxis: 1. matchen woord of zin met afbeelding 2. wie/wat/waar-vragen 3. beoordeling syntactisch goede en foute zinnen 4. invullen functiewoordenVoor wie?De ScreeLing wordt afgenomen door logopedisten en klinisch linguïsten. De test kan ook worden afgenomen door andere professionals met affiniteit voor afasie en taal, zoals neuropsychologen, klinisch psychologen of neurologen. Afname en scoringDe afnametijd van de ScreeLing is gemiddeld 30 minuten. In totaal bevat de ScreeLing 72 items. De test is aan het bed afneembaar.Belangrijk: u kunt deze test alleen afnemen indien u over de Screeling complete set beschikt. NormenVoor de interpretatie worden cut off-scores gehanteerd. Deze geven aan of zich in de linguïstische niveaus stoornissen voordoen en in welke mate. Materiaal• ScreeLing- complete set • ScreeLing- scoreformulieren (set van 25)• ScreeLing -handleiding

Screeningsinstrument voor Dysfagie bij mensen met een Verstandelijke beperking (SD-VB): Handleiding

Dit screeningsinstrument helpt om een verhoogd risico op voedings- en slikproblemen (dysfagie) op te sporen bij mensen met een verstandelijke beperking. Het maakt daarvoor niet uit wat de oorzaak is van de beperking, of wat het niveau van de cliënten is. Met behulp van het screeningsinstrument voor dysfagie bij mensen met een verstandelijke beperking (SD-VB) wordt ondersignalering van dysfagie bij mensen met een verstandelijke beperking voorkomen. Een verhoogd risico op dysfagie wordt tijdig in kaart gebracht waardoor adequaat diagnostiek en behandelbeleid kan worden ingezet. Dit leidt tot verlaging van risico’s en verbetering van de kwaliteit van leven.Deze handleiding bevat naast de verantwoording van de ontwikkeling en gebruikersinstructies (afname, scoring, interpretatie) ook een beschrijving van het cyclische dysfagiewerkproces waarin het SD-VB idealiter wordt ingezet. Dit proces, beginnend bij het moment van screenen op verhoogd dysfagierisico tot enmet het uitvoeren en evalueren van het logopedisch behandelbeleid, is onmisbaar voor goede dysfagiescreening, -diagnostiek en -behandeling in de praktijk.Het SD-VB bestaat uit 29 ja/nee-vragen over eet- en drinkgedrag. Zorgverleners kunnen dit gemiddeld in vier minuten invullen. Ze hebben hiervoor geen cursus nodig. De interpretatie van de scores is voorbehouden aan logopedisten.Marloes Schüller-Korevaar en Susanna van der Woude zijn beiden logopedist-onderzoeker, Ans Hovenkamp-Hermelink is senior onderzoeker. Zij zijn werkzaam bij de afdeling Praktijkgericht Wetenschappelijk Onderzoek van Alliade, net als Alain Dekker die hoofd van deze afdeling is.
