With Copper Ribbons, Silver Threads is one of a pair of virtuoso harpsichord pieces by Rhian Samuel, and the two may be programmed together or performed as separate recital items. The music of Silver Threads is the restless pursuit of a single idea through fleet textures, dividing an unbroken line of melody between the hands and manuals throughout the register of the instrument.

In many ways, teaching with Music Learning Theory (MLT) is like weaving a tapestry. There are a multitude of threads that must be thoughtfully and strategically woven together to create the intended piece. —from the Introduction Children are capable of remarkably sophisticated musical skills and understandings, and for decades music teachers have been using Edwin E. Gordon’s groundbreaking method to successfully develop independent music makers and thinkers in their classrooms. In Weaving It All Together, author Heather Shouldice draws from her two decades of experience with Music Learning Theory (MLT) to present practical activities, ideas, and strategies to help elementary general music teachers thoughtfully and purposefully weave together the many instructional threads of MLT. The book is divided into three parts. Part I (“The Big Pictureâ€) presents the core concepts and tenets of MLT, including a summary of Gordon’s foundational Skill Learning Sequence. In Part II (“Navigating Skill Learning Sequenceâ€), Shouldice dedicates a chapter to each of the eight levels in the Skill Learning Sequence, with suggestions for learning activities and teaching strategies for each. Part III (“Weaving the Threadsâ€) takes a broad view of how students’ audiation and musical skill development can be guided throughout the elementary years, with chapters devoted to informal music guidance, harmonic skill development, instrumental applications, facilitating and documenting individual student growth, implementing Learning Sequence Activities (LSAs), and planning and sequencing instruction. Equally suited for veteran and novice teachers alike, Weaving It All Together provides a detailed yet flexible roadmap for music instruction and bridges the gap between Gordon’s theoretical ideas and their practical implementation in the general music classroom. Heather Nelson Shouldice is Associate Professor of Music Education at Eastern Michigan University, where she coordinates the music education program, teaches graduate and undergraduate courses, supervises student teachers, and directs the early childhood music program. Prior to entering higher education, Dr. Shouldice taught elementary general music for ten years in the public schools of Michigan.

ISBN 9780143123477. English. [John Cage] By Kay Larson.
Composer John Cage sought the silence of a mind at peace with itself-and found it in Zen Buddhism, a spiritual path that changed both his music and his view of the universe. Remarkably researched, exquisitely written, Where the Heart Beats weaves together a great many threads of cultural history (Maria Popova, Brain Pickings) to illuminate Cage's struggle to accept himself and his relationship with choreographer Merce Cunningham. Freed to be his own man, Cage originated exciting experiments that set him at the epicenter of a new avante-garde forming in the 1950s. Robert Rauschenberg, Jasper Johns, Andy Warhol, Yoko Ono, Allan Kaprow, Morton Feldman, and Leo Castelli were among those influenced by his 'teaching' and 'preaching.' Where the Heart Beats shows the blossoming of Zen in the very heart of American culture.
