Eric Whitacre’s Virtual Choir

Eric Whitacre is a composer and conductor working out of LA. The IWS has played his “October” and “Noisy Wheels of Joy” before and had fun with them. Recently, though, he has managed to put together his love of composing and conducting with current technology and created something beautiful, original, and beautifully original. The Virtual Choir.

The idea is rather simple: Write a piece of music, send the music out into the world where people can record themselves performing each piece, and then bring those pieces together into a single musical performance.

Last year’s project was called “Lux Aurumque.” It brought together 185 voices from 12 countries in this ethereal performance.

Behaviorism in simple words

I am a visual learning. Watching videos on the theories we discussed in class is making it easier for me to understand and help to apply the theory when I create my lessons

Synectics

The term Synectics from the Greek word synectikos which means 'bringing forth together' or 'bringing different things into unified connection.'No wonder I like this theory.

Teamwork

We learn how to do things by doing the things we are leaning to do -Aristotle-

At this speed I feel I am not learning. I am just trying to keep up.
