'MUSIC THERApf
BY Harvey Jacobson
THE INDiVIDUAL TRAUJED iN THE USE OF f'UNC-
TIONAL MUiiC WILL UNDERSTAND Bv BEING FAMILJAR
WITH THE PHYSICAL NATURE OF THE HEARING ORGAN,
THAT MU35C CAN BE USEFUL IN THE REHABILJTATJON
OF THE DEAF OR HARD OF HEARING INDIVIDUAl,
!n ADDITION TO USING SOUND TO STIMULATE TH=
SENSORY AREA OF THE BRAIN, THE THERAPIST SHOULD
UNCrRSTAND THAT:
", .^iMCTIONAL MUSIC EXPERIENCE WITH EMPHA
SIS ON GROUP DYNAMICS BECOMES A PETENTIAL
MEANS OF COMMUNICATION WITHIN THE GROUP,
SERVES AS A SOCIALIZING FACTOR FOR EACH DE
VIANT CHILD, (the WORD DEVIANT IS USED HERE
TO CONNOTE EXCEPTIONAL)."
Deaf children usually respond well to being
INTRODUCED TO SUCH "POPULAR” INSTRUMENTS AS THE
GUITAR, HARMONICA, PIANO, AND AUTOHARP. THE VI
BRATIONS SET UP BY THE INSTRUMENT CAN BE FELT
AND HEARD VIA THESE LIMBS OF THE BODY THAT ARE
IN CLOSE CONTACT WITH THE INSTRUIEMT.
As WITH INSTRUMENTS SUCH AS THE HARMONICA,
WE FIND THAT IT IS THE RE'iONATOR CAVITIES IN THE
HEAD, WHICH REACT AS VIBRATirJG CHAMBERS, THUS
ENABLING THE CHILD TO FL'X THF, SOUND AS EITHER
HIGH OR LOW PITCH, OF LONG OR SHORT DURATION, AS
LOUD OR SOFT,
WHEN WORKING WITH THE DEAP CHILD, IT IS
WELL TO KNOW THAT THE MAJORITY OF INDIVIDUALS
WHO CLAIM TO BE TOTALLY DEAF, ACTUALLY MEAN THAT
THEY ARE "HARD OF HEARING," THAT THEY FIT® (T
DIFFICULT TO DISTINGUISH BETWEEN DIFFEREfJT KINDS
OP SOUNDS. As WITH MOST DISABILITIES, VA.'3I0US
GRADATIONS OF HEARING EXIST, AND THIS MUST BE
TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION WHEN WORKING WITH THE
DEAP CHILD.
WlLHELMirW K. HARDSRT, IN HER ART(CLE DEAL
ING WITH THE RESULTS DERIVED FROM THE USE OF ML>-
SIC WITH THE EXCEPTIONAL CHILD, STATES THAT:
"Those with physical limiiations, such as THt
BLIND and partially-sighted, AS THE DEAF AND
HARD OF HEARING, SPEECH DEFECTIVES, THOSF.
SUFFERING FROM THE EFFECTS OF TUBERCULOSi
POLIO, AND Rx-IJMATIC FEVER. THEIR MUSIC AC
TIVITIES SHOULD BE SUITED TO MOTOR LIMiTA-
TIONS, SENSORY DEFECTS, SPEECH DISORDERS* AIJD
THE PROBLEMS ARISING FROM LOWERED VITALITY.
Physical disabilities leading to motor limita-
TIONS and the irHIBITION OF FREE MOVEMENT OF THE
TOTAL BODY MAY COMPLICATE THE PICTURE OF THE
Dlaf CHILD. Other sensory defects sxh as blind
NESS MAY further COMPLICATE OR HANDICAP THE
CHILD IN BECOHirjG ADJUSTED AND ACHIEVING SAT
ISFACTION FROM LIFE SITUATIONS.
As IT APPEARS, SPEECH DEFECTS, HOST FRE
QUENTLY OCCUR WITH CHILDREN WHO ARE DEAF, FOR JN
HIS DEAFN^S, THE CHILD HAS PIFFICULTY IN RESPON
DING TO sourjDs:
*. He CA^jNOT IMITATE THE SOUNDS OF OTHERS,
2. He does NOT KNOW THE VARIOUS LIP AND
TOI^UE FORMATIONS FOR THE VOWEL AND COfJ-
SONANT S0Uf®5,
J, He HAS A POOR UNDERSTANDING OF THE RELA
TIONSHIPS BETWEEN SYMBOLS AND THEIR REAL
LIFE CJUTERPARTS.

OUT-OF-TUNE'
ORGAN RECITAL
3Y CARLOS Curley
On Sunday* September 2?, the new unsurpas
sable Casavant Organ at Augsburg I utheran Church
HERE IN WfNSrON-SALEMj VMs DEDiCATED IN RECITAL
BY A Charlotte Artist, Dr. Richard Peek. This
IS A 3USTOP ORGAN OF 41 RANKS BUILT BY THE CA
SAVANT Organ Co. of Saint H'»A'.inthe, Canada.
Dr, Peek, v/ho is inclined toi'Mrd French CorjTEf'i-
porary Organs, drew up the specifications for
THE organ. In May, 1968, a man from the Casa
vant Firm, installed this beautifully exposed,
"chiffy" 'nstruient.
Dr, Peek entered the sanctuary garbed in a
l^lHiT£ ATTIRE AND AFTER A TOUCHING IN'./OCATION BY
THE PASrOR OF THE CHURCH^ PEEK BEGAN THE DEDICA
TION WITH A French piece by G. G. Nivers. This
SELECTION was EFFECTIVELY DEMONSTRATED, ThE
"TOCATTA in F *'1AJ0R" BY BACH SHOWED DR. PEEK'S
GREAT TALENT FOR BACI: AND ALSO HOW TO HOLD ON TO
THE CONSOLE DURING THE BRILLIANT PEDAL SOLO.
After several (12) sl?ght errors in the tocatta
IT BECAME APPARENT THAT THIS ARTIST HAD A W0^J-
DERFUL SENSE OF TIMING (IT NEVER CHANGED). THE
ARTICUL riON WAS VERY NOTICEABLE. AFTER SPLIT
TING THE Tocatta and Fugue in half with a bach
CHORALE PRELUDE Cil WHICH HE JUMPED AROUND, KE
WENT TO A "Suite for a Mechanical organ'" by
Beethoven. (He certaimy sounded mechanical
•■'iough.) !f the arpeggios in this piece had
BEEN executed CORRECTLY, IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN AC
CEPTABLE .
FoLLO.jING A HASTY, NO?SY PISTON CHANGE,
Carlos Cur^-ty and a >-'R(end T'Iscussed it and dc-
CiDEU TO CHANGE THF NAME THE PRECEDING PIECE
TO "SuiTE FOR A BURLESQUE SH01i»."
Hr. Charles Schleigh, organ re.^rcsentative
AND repairman SAT IN THE AUi)lf.N'CE M1ILE THE
5EDECKT PSPE (MIDDLE G) JJT'.PED OFF THE CHEST.
The SECOfD HALI- of the recital PROVED THAT PEKK
SHOWD NEVER ATTEMPT BACH. AFTER A WONDERFUL
CLIMAX, THE RECITAL WAS CLOSED BY PASTOR BUM
GARNER AND EVERYONE RETIRED TO THi: FELLOWSHIP
HALL WHERE KENNETH CRAWLEV ENJOYED FIVE CUPS OF
Punch and ten cakes.
The deaf child can learn to read ljps, can also,
UNDER THE GUIDANCE OF A SPEECH AND OR MUSIC THE-
RAPISY5 LEARN THF !!P AND TONGUE FORMATIONS FOR
THE VARIOUS -OLV::.-. •'
''•■i-:JVJ-.tr: T', .w,.5rHAS AT MIS DISPOSAL,
VARIOUS IcCHjNIQUES Wh!CH CAN HFLP THE CHILD TO
REUTE MEANING WITH SOUND.
. -M OF LOW FREQtCNCY SOUffflS TC COfVFV
LOUDNESS, HEAVINESS, L01VNES3 IN PiTCH ETC
2. Use OF HIGH FREQUENC) SOUfffiS TO CONVEY
LIGHTNFSSj AGiLiTY, HIGHNESS IN PITCH,
ETC,
3. Use OF ALL KSNDS OF SOUNDS TO HELP THE
DEAF CHU.D EXPRESS HIMSELF, EVEN THOUGH
HE DOES NOT LEARN THE ACTUAL WORD.
4. Use of SOUNDS to teach the deaf child the
DIFFERENCES BETWEEN GROSS AND FINE AUDI
TORY DJSCRIMINATiONS.
The deaf ch:ld must be given special consi-
DERATJON DIKING TH£'S'""*'ii'’.'T)F AUDITORY TRAINING,
SINCE EACH CHILD WILL BE DIFFERENT IN HIS ABILI
TY TO HEAR AND TO COMMUNICATE WITH OTHERS. !N
HELPING SUCH A CHILD TO EXPRESS HIMSELF THROUGH
SOUND AfJD BY TEAOIING THE FACiAi. EXPRESSIONS
APPROPRIATE TO THOSE SOUNDS, THE MUSSC THERAPIST
CAN MAKE A SMALL, BUT SIGNIFICANT CONTRIBUIION
IN THE LIFE OP THE DEAF CHILD.
