in all areas of study, including not only mu- sicians and music education people, but also classroom teachers, psychologists, doctors, sociologists, nurses, allied clinicians such as speech pathologists, occupation and physi- cal therapists, sports medicine, biomedical engineers and scientists, as well as parents and caretakers of patients with PTSD, au- tism, brain trauma, dementias, and much more. There is no music background essen- tial to learning about how music is applied clinically, but this course can surely bring out very interesting physiologic informa- tion about human function and why and how music, whether therapeutic or clinical therapy, can become a useful resource in education and clinical work. This all-university , and communi-
ty-interest course requires NO MUSIC BACKGROUND or pre-requisite, and is available to any interested students, from any discipline, within and outside of Kean University. Its catchy sub-title above informs that information will be obtained about the clinical role and uses of music, as well
as various physiologic aspects of diagnosed populations. The information is valuable for teachers, allied clinicians, health-care professions, care-givers, administrators, and general public. The course begins this com- ing spring semester (2013), and will be held on Wednesdays, January 23rd through early May, at 4:30 - 7:15 pm. Course meeting time has been specially designed to accom- modate working professionals (teachers, etc) who are interested in taking the course. It is a 3-credit course that includes lec- tures, videos, field-visit assignments, book and journal literature report assignments, guest speakers, hands-on experiential music therapy-based activities exemplifying how music is applied in various treatment cir- cumstances, and weekly journal documen- tation of assigned and sundry topics. Four texts are required. In addition, a resource bibliography, music therapy websites, PDF files of pertinent articles and papers, will be provided. There are no ‘formal’ examina- tions given in the course. Grades are based upon consistent attendance, weekly “at-
tendance marker” submissions as assigned by instructor, timely completion of various reports and research assignments, field ob- servations, and class participation. Many professional music educators are seeking ad- ditional training in music therapy in order to better understand the special needs child, and how their own role as music educator can help yield creative adaptive behaviors. This course is recommended for any inter- ested person, and especially for music edu- cators. We at Kean University look forward to sharing information about music and music therapy. Information may be obtained from the Music Department, by phoning 908- 737-4330. Meanwhile, do take two CDs, continue to enjoy music in your life, and to providing music to children and their fami- lies. See you in the Spring.

National Association for Music Education Announces the Creation of
Music learning should be a part of the education of every student, not just the privileged few. Give a Note Foundation has a goal of raising $1 million to help spread the joy of music study to underfunded and underserved areas of the United States. Each year from 2013 to 2016, we’re asking every NAfME Collegiate and Tri-M chapter to raise at least $200 toward this goal.
Help us share the wealth that music education brings to those whose lives it touches. The Give a Note Foundation Fundraising Toolkit, found online at
http://giveanote.nafme.org/toolkit/ can help your Tri-M or NAfME Collegiate chapter get things rolling. All the elements are downloadable and printable.
Questions about any aspect of the campaign can be directed to Touching the Lives of 20 Million Children
Give A Note Foundation was established by the leaders of the National Association for Music Education in order to expand and increase music education opportunities for all children and help them develop skills needed for success in the 21st century.
