"Sound itself is not music. Sound becomes music through #audiation when, as with language, we translate sounds in our mind and give them meaning. -Dr. Edwin E. Gordon, Learning Sequences in Music: Skill, Content, and Patterns (2012), p. 3.

[ID: on the ground, leaning against a cement wall, is a black ukulele case that says "Ohana Ukuleles" on it. On top of the ukulele case is a purple and black butterfly finger puppet. Inserted in the top of the ukulele case is a metal tuning fork. On top of the cement wall is a black and yellow bumblebee hand puppet, a book that says "Tanka Tanka Skunk" with a drawing of an elephant holding a drum and a skunk holding two mallets on the cover of the book. Draped on the book is a sheer yellow scarf. Behind the wall and draped over the wall are red flowers and a green plant. Behind all this is a brick wall and a green lawn.]

Look who’s back at the ASUM Childcare. Yes, those pictured, but me, too. 🙂 We took time to move while singing in Mixolydian in the Bumblebee song. 🐝 We also experienced the “Flutter, Flutter Butterfly” chant. Other activities, too. #ASUM #EarlyChildhoodMusic #Audiation #LearnByDoing #MusEd #umontana

Audiation is the sound version of visualization and is as important to a singer as visualizing is to an artist #singing #audiation #vocalcoach #musicsky

Excited to be teaching a pilot HYBRID Instrumental Level 1 PDLC this fall. This will be our first attempt to offer this content with a mix of online and in-person participation. #MusicTeachers #MusicLearningTheory #Audiation #MusicEducation #MLT #MusicEd #GIML

More information may be found at www.giml.org about MLT, Audiation, & the Gordon Institute for Music Learning. OR... give me a shout. #MusicTeachers #MusicLearningTheory #Audiation #MusicEducation #MLT #MusicEd #GIML

There are several organizations around the world that are supporting teacher development using MLT and research including those in the US, Canada, Brazil, Italy, Germany, Poland, and Korea. #MusicTeachers #MusicLearningTheory #Audiation #MusicEducation #MLT #MusicEd #GIML

Rather than being the focus of college professors there has been growing use of MLT as a framework for teaching and learning not only for MLT-related practices, but that of other approaches such as Orff and Kodaly. #MusicTeachers #MusicLearningTheory #Audiation #MusicEducation #MLT #MusicEd #GIML

Fostering creativity and improvisation within musical context and guiding students to read with understanding rather than decoding are important aspects of these MLT practical applications. #MusicTeachers #MusicLearningTheory #Audiation #MusicEducation #MLT #MusicEd #GIML

MLT itself is not a method but there are methods that have been created based on MLT.They are based on the idea that music is learned in a similar way as language & that audiation is the musical equivalent of thinking.#MusicTeachers #MusicLearningTheory #Audiation #MusicEducation #MLT #MusicEd #GIML

Research by Gordon, his doctoral students, and others resulted in revisions with the most recent publication in 2012.Work has continued since Gordon’s passing with an International Conference held in Chicago last week.#MusicTeachers #MusicLearningTheory #Audiation #MusicEducation #MLT #MusicEd #GIML

A little about my research area. Music Learning Theory is a research-based theory of how we learn when we learn music. MLT was first proposed by Dr. Edwin Gordon from his early research on music aptitude. #MusicTeachers #MusicLearningTheory #Audiation #MusicEducation #MLT #MusicEd #GIML

I'm very happy that I've gotten my students to the point in their music literacy that they can identify a simple melody from looking at traditional sheet music now!!!

#audiation truly is a taught skill #kodaly

[ID: the following items on a brown bench: a book that says "Jump, Frog, Jump by Robert Kalan pictures by Byron Barton" with cartoon drawings of a frog on a lily pad on top of water, a fly next to a green bush, a fish, a snake next to a tree trunk, and a turtle peeking through a green bush with a green meadow in the background of the picture. A black ukulele case that says "Ohana Ukuleles" on it. A metal tuning fork is leaning against the ukulele case. A green frog finger puppet is on top of the ukulele case. A book that says "Let's Play in the Forest While the Wolf is Not Around!" and also says the author's name on it: "Claudia Rueda," and has cartoon drawings of several animals on it. Behind these items there is snow on some parts of the ground, tall trees, and a brick building and grey sky.]

It's cloudy and snow may be coming, so we chanted the "Clouds" chant. We also built snowmen, big and small, in Major tonality. May we get snow today to water the ground. Have a good Friday, everyone! #ASUM #EarlyChildhoodMusic #Audiation #MusEd #umontana

A good week of teaching #band. Teaching from an #audiation based method results in so many wonderful AHA! moments. This week was a week of those. #MusicEd
