@DaveSpoon - I'm new to #Reason5; they really seem overwhelmed. Reading forum posts makes evident. It's great software.

@DaveSpoon - They seem to be overwhelmed and unprepared for interest in #Reason5. Good and bad. Have you contacted support?

Think I may have solution for not receiving breath control in #Reason5 from my #EWI4000s. May have set up #EWI wrong in #Reason5. Testing.

Conducting the orchestra

Listened to Bob Edwards’ show on XM Radio this morning. He interviewed Howard Gardner and discussed aspects of education reform. Gardner was discussing his theory of “multiple intelligences”, which I’ve heard/read about some time ago, probably in graduate school. One thing he said that struck me was his reference to teachers needing to “conduct the orchestra” when teaching.

I’ve been thinking and designing my lessons like this for some time and now have a phrase I can use to describe what I do.

A classroom full of students is very similar to an orchestra. Many different instruments which require different types of instructions in order for them to reach their ultimate potential in the particular piece of music. How wonderful is that!

A warm thought for any teacher

I received an invite through my LinkedIn account this AM from a past student. He’s really become a success and it was good to hear from him, and good to hear that I had some impact on his life. A welcome for any teacher.

It has been a long time since I last talked to you when I worked for you as a teaching assistant at Clinton-Massie in 2000. I would like to thank you as I have used many of the basic skills I picked up in your classes.
