Hello everyone,


I have been bought up in another series of deadlines. I also realized that the final summary and the body of the report needed some work before I would want to turn them in as final.


So it's taking a little longer than anticipated but I want to turn something in that del good about.


Thanks for your patience!

Greetings everyone again,


the above link has some news for us. This is another example of the Music Intonation Training method that we looked in my presentation. With a younger patient the results were much better. What I am suggesting is that if the therapy moves towards the internalization of musical cyclical forms, the results should be far better than what results from just the singing of phrases. But first I need to create the spectrum "map" to give credibility as to why I think this might be so. Otherwise it would be difficult to persuade an untested approach for someone who truly was in need of therapy.
Hello everyone,


I want to give my sincerest thanks to Dr. Anand and Dr. Pecht for taking from their valuable time to sit through my presentation and give their thoughtful critique. I hope they were satisfied with the results. This has been one of the most important events in my fledgling academic career and I hope I will be able to continue along the research lines that we have laid out in this project.


I also want to thank Dr. Stuart for his support throughout this project and of course I wish he had been able to attend the presentation and give his valuable insights- however, I will send him the materials and we will undoubtedly go over them in his office at the Town Hall.


Thanks again everyone, this has been a great experience for me, and I hope it was of some value to all of you as well,
