Robert; Frontiers MediaLanguage is typically viewed as fundamental to human intelligence. Music, while recognized as a human universal, is often treated as an ancillary ability – one dependent on or derivative of language. In contrast, we argue that it is more productive from a developmental perspective to describe spoken language as a special type of music. A review of existing studies presents a compelling case that musical hearing and ability is essential to language acquisition. In addition, we challenge the prevailing view that music cognition matures more slowly than language and is more difficult; instead, we argue that music learning matches the speed and effort of language acquisition. We conclude that music merits a central place in our understanding of human development.Item Competitions James Dunham(The Shepherd School of Music, Rice University, 2014) Dunham, James; Rarick, JanetJames Dunham discusses how to consider whether to enter a competition, and the benefits of competing.Item Addressing the Mind/Body Connection Rebecca Clearman MD, FAAFM&R, FACSM, FPASSOP(The Shepherd School of Music, Rice University, 2014) Clearman, Dr. Rebecca; Rarick, JanetDr. Clearman suggests several resources that can help integrate mind and body for greater ease of movement and better health.Item Rural Residencies: Getting Started Chiara Quartet(The Shepherd School of Music, Rice University, 2014) Fischer, Rebecca; Sirota, Jonathan; Rarick, JanetA discussion of the benefits of engaging with rural communities through Rural Residencies.Item Navigating String Quartets James Dunham(The Shepherd School of Music, Rice University, 2014) Dunham, James; Rarick, JanetAdvice for musicians wishing to join an existing string quartet.Item Techniques for Mental Training: William VerMeulen(The Shepherd School of Music, Rice University, 2014) VerMeulen, William; Rarick, JanetWilliam VerMeulen offers tips for developing the mental training process.Item A Career Highpoint Jamie Baum(The Shepherd School of Music, Rice University, 2014) Baum, Jamie; Rarick, JanetJazz flutist Jamie Baum describes a personally rewarding experience in her career.Item Finding Work Through Networking Stephen King(The Shepherd School of Music, Rice University, 2014) King, Stephen; Rarick, JanetAdvice for young singers about the benefits of networking within a musician's circle to gain employment.Item Understanding Contract Law Dr. Arthur Gottschalk(The Shepherd School of Music, Rice University, 2014) Gottschalk, Arthur; Rarick, JanetDr. Gottschalk discusses contract law and why a young musician should be familiar with it.Item The Musical Benefits of Education Skills Eric Booth(The Shepherd School of Music, Rice University, 2014) Booth, Eric; Rarick, JanetEric Booth discusses the how educator skills connect to expansion of musical skills of practice and performance in artists.Item Guidelines for Grant writing Barbara Shreffler(The Shepherd School of Music, Rice University, 2014) Shreffler, Barbara; Rarick, JanetA discussion of funders, the importance of researching posted guidelines for grants, and general timelines in the funding process.Item Finding an Arts Medicine Doctor Rebecca Clearman MD, FAAFM&R, FACSM, FPASSOP(The Shepherd School of Music, Rice University, 2014) Clearman, Dr. Rebecca; Rarick, JanetDr. Clearman suggests several resources for finding a doctor who is familiar with treating playing-related injuries in musicians.Item Agents of Musical Experience Eric Booth(The Shepherd School of Music, Rice University, 2014) Booth, Eric; Rarick, JanetEric Booth discusses the education impulse as a means of going deeper into the music: engaging with education as an agent of musical experience also helps us to better connect with the world at large.Item Freelancing: Making Choices Jamie Baum, flutist(The Shepherd School of Music, Rice University, 2014) Baum, Jamie; Rarick, JanetJamie Baum discusses business aspects of being a freelancer.Item Agents and Managers Dr. Arthur Gottschalk(The Shepherd School of Music, Rice University, 2014) Gottschalk, Arthur; Rarick, JanetDr. Gottschalk discusses the difference between agents and managers in the field of art music.Item Finding Your Place in Music: One Story Paul Ellison(The Shepherd School of Music, Rice University, 2014) Ellison, Paul; Rarick, JanetPaul Ellison relates a story that demonstrates the many opportunities offered within music career.
