(PUBLIC NEWS SERVICE) - Music lessons. A trip to the theater. Experiences like these can help students recover from cataclysmic natural disasters like the LA fires, according to experts in music and the brain.Research shows that learning to play an instrument improves listening skills and language development.Neuroscientist and Associate Professor Assal Habibi, PhD, is director of the Center for Music, Brain, and Society at the University of Southern California, Dornsife College of Letters, Arts, and Sciences.She said music students see improved decision-making, planning, and focus."We're not just giving them a toolbox of musicianship," said Habibi, "but we are giving them a toolbox to have better emotion regulation and better impulse control, and perhaps better respond to stressors around them when natural disaster happens in their environment."The center works with children in the Youth Orchestra Los Angeles, and researchers noticed improved resilience during and after the COVID lockdowns.They're also working with several children affected by the Altadena fire - kids who are part of the Los Angeles Children's Choir, which is based in nearby Pasadena.Habibi said participation in musical and art experiences is especially helpful in the immediate aftermath of a traumatic event, because it facilitates access to emotion."Some of these students may not be able to really express what is going on for them, and the fear and anger around all that happened so fast," said Habibi. "But by going to seeing a musical performance, it gives them a connection and access to their emotion and a way to express themselves."As schools rebuild after the fires, Habibi said she hopes art and music education will be available to help students recover and flourish.#ArtsEducation, #MusicTherapy, #LAFires, #DisasterRecovery, #MusicHeals, #ArtsForHealing, #BrainAndMusic, #MusicEducation, #ArtsInSchools, #YouthOrchestra, #LosAngelesArts, #EducationMatters, #MusicAndMentalHealth, #HealingThroughArt, #ChildDevelopment, #TraumaRecovery, #EmotionalWellness, #NeuroscienceOfMusic, #MusicForKids, #TheaterEducation, #ArtsInEducation, #CreativeTherapy, #MusicAndResilience, #YouthEmpowerment, #MusicAndBrainDevelopment, #SupportingStudents, #CommunityHealing, #USCResearch, #MusicAndMind, #ExpressiveArts

Wow guys I really can't believe we've been together for almost a full 6 weeks now - this trial has been a doozy and I am so happy to have you all along for the legal law analysis ride.Amber Heard rested her case on Tuesday morning in Court and from then on it was Johnny's Rebuttal case.  So the last two days have been all Johnny rebutting her testimony with his own and with her witnesses.  On Tuesday we heard from Walter Hamada, the head of DC productions at Warner Bros.  After Mr. Hamada we heard from Dr. Kulber who was Johnny's hand surgeon for his finger.  Then we heard from three of Johnny's experts we had already heard from - Mr. Hollywood aka Richard Marks, Mr. Spindler and Mr. Bania - they were there to say hey everything that lady said yesterday was a joke.  After them we had a true rebuttal witness Mr. Night who was the owner of the Hicksville Trailer Palace - and guys when i say this place looks dope I truly mean it and you should check it out at the link below.  After him we heard from a real ethical psychiatrist Dr. Richard Shaw who rebutted all that crazy doctor Spiegel said yesterday.  And lastly we had the pre-recorded deposition of Jennifer Howell which was somewhat anticlimactic.  Oh and we heard about how Amber didn't actually donate 3.5 million to the Los Angeles Children's Hospital - shocking i know., On Day 22, or Wednesday we heard from 6 more witnesses including Johnny himself.  First we got to hear from the infamous super model Ms. Kate Moss herself and Ms. Moss you look amazing.  What it is your trick is please keep it up.  Then we brought back Dr. Curry to rebut Dr. Hughes testimony.  After Dr. Curry Johnny retook the stand and Rottenborn was the one to cross examine.For the second half of the day we heard from a prior employee of TMZ who had some super hot tea about who told them about the TRO and to be there for pictures and who leaked them that video of JD in the kitchen assaulting cabinets.  Our last two witnesses of the day were Mr. Neumeister who spoke to the metadata issues with Amber's photos.  Last but certainly not least we heard from an employee at the Washington Airport who witnessed Amber Heard assault her former partner and even tried to interject.  A very concise together and well strategized rebuttal so far.  We will see what more we get tomorrow and then we'll be at closing arguments on Friday so stay tuned.Also to all the lovely listeners if you have any other upcoming cases you think are worth covering even if they arent being televised please let me know! Thats what I am doing here and I would love to cover what interests people.If you're enjoying the show please give a rating and a review if you have a minute it means the world to me!Link to Hicksville Trailer Palace:https://www.hicksvillepalace.com/Contact:Twitter: @LDBlondePodInstagram: @LegallyDirtyBlondePodEmail: Legallydirtyblondepod@gmail.com Support the show

For those of us advocating for access to necessary medical care for trans youth, recent legislation seeking to criminalize or prevent this gender-affirming care feels like a huge step back.

Billie Eilish history Born and raised in Los Angeles, Eilish grew up in a household of actors and musicians and was home-schooled along with her brother Finneas O'Connell (the Slightlys). At the age of eight, she joined the Los Angeles Children's Choir, developing the soulful vocals that would later appear on her early singles. After the release of the pop-leaning "Six Feet Under" and "Fingers Crossed," Eilish made her breakthrough with "Ocean Eyes," produced and co-written with her brother Finneas and released by Interscope. It surpassed 14 million online streams and spawned a number of remixes with Astronomyy, Blackbear, and Goldhouse. Eilish followed up in February 2017 with "Bellyache," then landed another track, "Bored," on the Netflix series 13 Reasons Why. An EP, don't smile at me, featuring the singles "Copycat" and "watch," followed later that summer. In 2018, Eilish contributed a track to the second season of 13 Reasons Why, collaborating with Khalid on the hit single "Lovely," which charted globally. Later that year she issued a pair of singles, "You Should See Me in a Crown" and "When the Party's Over," which both landed on her full-length debut, When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? Issued in March 2019, the breakthrough effort showcased her hybrid blend of pop, electronic, and hip-hop textures with a rock edge. Debuting at number one on the Billboard 200, the LP quickly became a worldwide smash and one of the most critically lauded efforts of 2019. Meanwhile, the pulsing single "Bad Guy" topped the Hot 100 and even got the remix treatment with Eilish's childhood idol, Justin Bieber. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

Listen [Subscribe on iTunes] [Subscribe on Android] Highlight to Tweet:         “Children can learn the basics of singing best in a choir.” - Anne Tomlinson Show Notes: About Anne: Anne Tomlinson is the Artistic Director of the Los Angeles Children’s Chorus (LACC). Her background is in piano, not teaching, but she learned from outstanding mentors while accompanying the LACC LACC is famous for bel canto teaching technique, producing a uniquely pure and resonant sound. On repertoire: Latin, Italian, German, Hebrew, Spanish, and Japanese are all good language choices for children, focusing on Italianate vowels. When selecting repertoire, focus on educating not just your students, but also your audience. Have the children talk about the piece, helping parents understand why we make these musical choices. Pick repertoire that supports the technique of the choir. Balance your selections, considering, unison, parts, sweet melodies, and more rhythmic selections. Can’t find a piece in a sharp key (better for young voices)? Transpose. Your choir is bigger than just the children in it Want to build relationships with other community arts organizations? Just ask for an opportunity to meet and share your goals and vision for a partnership. Invite them to your concerts, have children talk to them, demonstrate how their ticket sales are likely to increase. Teach children how to sing for a lifetime, technique that will allow them to sing in whatever style they choose as an adult. Shaping a singer is a long game, and children can damage their voices singing in styles that are not developmentally appropriate.

Some of our episodes talk about a conductor’s journey as a musician, or their philosophical understanding of the nature of choral music. Some episodes are pure toolkits: here’s what you need to solve your problems. This episode has the rare distinction of being both. Dr. Kronauer and Ryan cover the “hows” of directing teenage male voices, as well as the “whys” behind them. You’re going to want to listen to this one twice. Listen: Highlight to Tweet: “Living rigidly is not the game. The game is finding elasticity.” - Steven Kronauer Show Notes: Try thinking less in terms of “blend,” and more in terms of “agreement.” For the teenage male singer, it’s important to reassure them that change is a part of life. Whatever they are working with (or through) will be fine. When dealing with limited range, you need to offer patience and guidance. Provide a model. Avoiding “compensation,” or reaching for a pitch. (“that giraffe thing” - Ryan Guth) Posture and alignment are always important, but especially so for teenage boys. Accept and love this period of life where you’re going through change! Falsetto is huge. HUGE. Sing into a straw in a cup of water, so that the sound is focused at the front of the bubbles. It helps practice constant airflow. Hum with the tongue between the lips, concentrating on the vibration of the vocal folds while letting go of tensions. “You learn to sing by singing.” Place your singers according to what will be healthy for them. Bio: DR. STEVEN KRONAUER, a highly experienced voice teacher, tenor, and conductor, is the conductor of Los Angeles Children’s Chorus’ Young Men’s Ensemble, comprised of young men with changing voices. After completing two Master’s degrees at the University of Michigan, one in Voice Performance and the other in Choral Conducting, Dr. Kronauer began his professional career in the chorus of the Bavarian State Opera in Munich, Germany, as its youngest member ever.  During his ten-year engagement, he had the privilege of meeting and studying with many noted singers of the highest echelon, including world famous Verdi tenor Dennis O’Neill and Wagnerian baritone Donald MacIntyre.  Dr. Kronauer was employed as a soloist with the Bavarian State Opera for television broadcasts, CD recordings, and live radio performances, appearing with Renee Fleming, Kurt Moll, and many others, in secondary tenor roles.  Dr. Kronauer performed the role of Smy in a world premiere of the German opera Peter Pan, by Willfried Hiller, directed by the world famous stage director August Everding.  This performance was recorded at the Prinz-Regenten Theatre in Munich, Germany, and distributed by Deutche Gramaphone. Dr. Kronauer has studied oratorio with the finest of the field, including Ernst Haefliger and Peter Schreier, in Germany (while being a guest observer as a conductor at the Deutche Stats Oper in Berlin, Germany). He also studied with tenor John McCollum in the United States. Since then, he established a career in Europe singing oratorio under such noted conductors as Karl Anton Richenbacher and Peter Schneider.  Additionally, Dr. Kronauer has sung as a soloist at the Cologne Philharmonic, and with the Munich Philharmonic in Germany. He has sung more than 100 performances of Carmina Burana, internationally.  Dr. Kronauer’s interest in opera conducting was enhanced upon becoming acquainted with Zubin Mehta and Wolfgang Sawalisch at the Munich Opera.  Dr. Kronauer is a soloist with many organizations since his return from Europe, including a frequent guest with the Angeles Chorale and the National Children’s Chorus, here in Los Angeles. Dr. Kronauer completed his doctorate degree at the University of California, Los Angeles in choral conducting and operatic conducting under the direction of Donald Neuen and William Vendice, respectively.  He has worked with Donald Neuen as an assistant conductor with the UCLA Chorale and with Maestro Vendice as the assistant conductor of the UCLA Opera. Previously, The University of Michigan offered Dr. Kronauer the opportunity of completing two Masters Degrees in Vocal Performance (under Lorna Haywood and John McCollum) and Choral Conducting (under Theodore Morrison).  There, he was the Assistant Conductor for Jerry Blackstone and the University of Michigan Men’s Glee Club.   He has also led a choral workshop at the University of Munich.  Dr. Kronauer’s expertise focused on performance practice of American and British chorale music.  While in Munich he formed The Munich Opera Chamber Chorus, which sang some of the great chamber music of the Germanic tradition, including the complete Liebeslieder waltzes. Dr. Kronauer has taught on the voice faculty of the Interlochen Arts Camp and at the University of California, Irvine.  He also had the honor of presenting a lecture to the National Association of Teacher’s of Singing on the “Dos and Don’ts of Starting a Singing Career in Germany.” Dr. Kronauer taught for three years as a member of the voice faculty, and the music director of the opera program at California State University, Los Angeles, conducting fully staged performances of Hansel and Gretel by Humperdinck and L’incornatione di Poppea, by Monteverdi.  Dr. Kronauer was the Acting Chair of the voice department of the University of California, Santa Barbara for two years and the director of opera activities producing.
