Lesson Plan - Arranging and Composing with Contrapuntal Devices
By Dr. Thomas Rudolph In this lesson the student will create a 3-part arrangement for the round "Hey Hoe Nobody Home." They will complete a score that is provided by the teacher. Then they will create a variation using composing tools from the Sibelius plug-ins. Visit www.soundtree.com/trudolph11 to view the lesson plan.
SoundTree Teams Up With SoundBeam
While this company has been around for over 10 years in England, it is still one of those best-kept secrets here in the United States. SoundBeam is a device that converts physical movement into sound. Using ultrasonic sensors, the SoundBeam system detects the speed, gate and distance of even the smallest movements you make with anything from a fingertip to your entire body. These ultrasonic signals are converted by the SoundBeam controller into MIDI information that can then be processed by a sound module, keyboard, or sampler.
