Music Animation Machine — Resources for Education



Music Animation Machine — Resources for Education Here are reactions from people who have found my graphical scores helpful: Comments from viewers (some students, some teachers) A letter of recommendation of my work (from a music teacher) Following are things I hope will serve as a useful guide/index to these resources. My animated graphical scores are published on these four YouTube channels: smalin is where I publish the first version of videos intended for viewing by the general public musanim contains alternate versions and corrections; these are also intended for the general public musanim3D has versions designed for viewing with special glasses; these would be of no interest to people without those glasses stephenmalinowski is my "private" channel, where I post my personal (non-music) videos, experiments most people wouldn't be interested in, and other random stuff I've published over a thousand videos, which might make it hard to find what you want. Here are some things that might make it a little easier: This spreadsheet, which lists all the videos on the smalin and musanim channels, sorted by composer name. I'm thinking that this would be more useful if it contained other information; please contact me if you have ideas about what that would be There are two books used by music educators in Japan that I'm using as a source for recommendations of pieces that would be useful for music educators This playlist contains videos that might be especially suitable for children, and some of these other playlists might also be useful in finding a certain type of music For each year I've published videos on YouTube, I've put together a summary of the more significant projects I've been working on, with links to the videos I'm most satisfied with For more general background, this page gives an overview of what I've been doing There are also a few educational web pages on specific subjects: Canons can be used for ear-training; this page has links to all my canon videos and suggestions for how to use them. My video for Bach's Réjouissance (from his fourth orchestral suite) was so demanding to watch that I made several training videos to help people teach their eyes (and ears) what to look for (and listen for). Music theory students learning about Non-chord tones might find this tool useful. Many of my video use color to indicate pitch class; the system I use (which I call Harmonic Coloring) is described here. Please contact me with questions, requests, or suggestions.
