I also loved the TED talk so much. Your call to arms (or ears) at the end rings strongly for me, and I will certainly refer others to this powerful, clear presentation.<br /><br />I've been developing sound games for quite a while with this exact intention of enhancing people's listening, specifically children. One game, Animal Sounds Memory Game, is available here:<br />http://www.avidpros.com/sonicstrategies/<br />I have a whole series proposed for educational use, and it would be great to collaborate with you and other educators with this interest.<br /><br />I also published an article on a new listening model called "Sound Spheres" in The New Soundtrack, Edinburgh U. Press, (also in the upcoming 2nd edition of my book "Sound Design") that has several examples on how students can use this as an exercise to explore their listening awareness. I'd love to hear feedback from educators on this. It can be read on my site here: http://sounddesignforpros.com/davids-interviews/sound-spheres-a-psychoacoustic-model/<br /><br />All the best and keep up the good fight for good sound.David Sonnenscheinhttp://www.sounddesignforpros.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6433732056290119756.post-72755978179561892362011-09-08T19:58:15.422+01:002011-09-08T19:58:15.422+01:00Happy to see your work.

"Listening Positions"...Absolutely concur. "Listening Positions" introduces an active process. Not just rote processing of the sounds that wash over us. Last year I opened up the discussion in my class about "Hearing". My students could repeat two pitches but could they hear the duration, discern the interval, discuss the timbre, express the dynamic. I digress "Listening Positions" is a more concrete place to enter these murky waters with students.TTRhymerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04383957436448184965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6433732056290119756.post-46777828877027403282011-08-11T07:34:33.388+01:002011-08-11T07:34:33.388+01:00Thanks For Sharing..........

We realized that early on in the talk we had to help them recognize and differentiate between the different channels that they were experiencing – analogous to the “Mixer” stage.<br /><br />Music is great for this – we set up the room with big speakers to the left and right and then played the intro to the stereo mix of The Beatles’ “Day Tripper.” This was great fun – you hear the guitar in the right channel, then Paul’s bass in the left, tambourine in the right, drums in the left, etc. Playing it over and over again and injecting plenty of enthusiasm we got the kids to clearly separate out the different instruments into the different channels.<br /><br />Clearly we were showing our age and I’m sure there are more modern tracks that set up clearly audible differences between channels – but it did the job and the kids got the concept of selective listening and focus really quickly.<br />I really enjoy and appreciate your work Julian – good luck!Andrew Mccluskeyhttp://music2work2.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6433732056290119756.post-68241186236085739102011-08-03T04:41:29.830+01:002011-08-03T04:41:29.830+01:00I just watched your TED video and am inspired to b...I just watched your TED video and am inspired to begin this school year by teaching listening!

This is an idea that can have rich benefits for adults as well. It can turn social interactions completely around, and enables us to get more from our time with others, even as we are giving more of ourselves to them. How empowering!!<br /><br />Your tantalizingly brief paragraph deserves expansion! :)Sarinne Foxhttp://www.noisehelp.com/noreply@blogger.com
