[musictlk] conducting and lyric diction

[Sheri Wells-Jensen]

Hi, Julie,

There is a terrific and quite usable version of the braille IPA 
here:

www.ruf.rice.edu/~reng/

I believe there are also JAWS scripts to make this work well on the computer. It's the version of the IPA that linguists use and it is fully up to date and pretty intuitive.

Peace,

sheri W-J

Subject: [musictlk] conducting and lyric diction

Hi everyone.

I'm a sophomore in college, and I am planning ahead.  I have been
asked recently by teachers to come up with a solution for taking
conducting and lyric diction.  For those of you who have taken lyric
diction, how have you dealt with the IPA?  I think that the lyric
diction class tought at my university is mostly IPA and diagrams.
Also, conducting is another thing that worries me.  Should I try to
get an independent study?  I have tried in other classes, and I do not
catch on to the motions easily.  I have some sight, but it was never
enough to observe a conductor.  That is another important part of the
class.  They have to observe a conductor and report on their
observations.  I can't even think of an alternative for this.  I don't
want to just try and get out of the class because I think it could be
useful to me if it is tought correctly.  Any ideas?  Suggestions?
Thank you.
