Big Bend National Park: Bagpiping Tuition again? with Ian Whitelaw, UCR Professor of Music, after 10 years - on the Scottish Small Pipes? * * * Developing World Univ & Sch's Courses in Many Languages (from best STEM CC-4 OCW) * Translation with Machine Lea

Hi Ian, 
Greetings in the New Year!
How are you? And happy New Year ~ with my Season's Greeting's 2021 letter here ~ https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2021/01/twinpods-123120-see-122320-too-seasons.html !
I last took lessons from you in / around San Francisco in 2010 - for which I thank you! And I've just completed my first Scottish Small Pipes' album entitled "Honey in the Bag" - https://scottmacleodhoneyinthebagscottishsmallpipesbagpiping.bandcamp.com/ (as a first iteration) AND see too https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/02/western-honey-bee-re-my-upcoming-honey.html - and would like to explore whether you might be available again please for online lessons? I'm also teaching and playing only the Scottish Small Pipes (partly due to their harmonious beauty, and ability to play easily with other instruments, and partly due to what I'll call 'Eustachian Tube Dysfunction,' and I like the Scottish small pipes a lot), and I have 3 chanters, and a baritone drone making a chord as well (Walsh Scottish small pipes:). Do you / would you teach please Scottish Small Pipes, and might you be available online, and how much would you ask $-wise for lessons please? (I received a nice gift of lesson money from my mother earmarked for the piano, which I had asked for, but would like to apply this to both Piobaireachd and Light Music, in lessons with you if you are available). 
Am learning too from these Guidelines for Practicing a Musical Instrument (by Ma and Marsalis) - http://scottmacleod.com/GuidelinesPracticingMusicalInstrument.htm

Am continuing to develop CC-4 MIT OCW-centric wiki World Univ & Sch in which there are a number of Bagpiping wiki subjects as well (planned in Scottish Gaelic potentially, and if helpful, as well) !
Thank you!

Would love to focus on your Guidelines too - 

Ian Whitelaw's Guidelines for Interpreting Piobairreachd


1. Establish a beat (nonmensurally)! The 1st is strong, the 4th is the strongest. (For Piobairreachds in ¾, the third note is the strongest beat).

2. Show contrast between the long and short notes, emphasizing the long notes and really shortening (de-emphasizing) the short notes.

3. Watch for mirrors? - where the same theme is played on different notes. (Call and answer).  

4. If you're already on a note before a cadence, give the following note, after the grace note, the time, to link phrases together.

5. When playing a 'he heran' (cantairreachd for ...) always hold the E.

6. If the note has embellishments, accent it! Hold it.

7. Give space longer to a note before and after the cadence, and before and after a double echo.

8. Always hold the A after a birl.

9. Two notes are never the same, and usually the 2nd note is longer than the first.

10. If the note has a doubling on it, you always hold it.

11. When a cut note is the first beat in the bar, make the first note of bar absolutely on the beat.

12. In a Braebach (Piobairreachd) tune, in a crunluath singling, count to 3 before playing the crunluath, and make the following two notes even.

13. In a Braebach doubling, count to two before playing the crunluath movement.

14. In the taorluath movement, play the melody notes in this order: long, longer, longest. Make each note a different length, and make the third the longest!





Piobairreachd

Structures:

Primary
a a b
a b b
a b

Secondary
a b c d
b c

Tertiary

Regular

Irregular



Types of Piobairreachd

Braebach tune

Strong, sing song rhythmic beat


Fosgailte tune

Instead of Taorluoth, play GDF for crunluath

Play the theme note followed by short note followed by eedree

Also, in fosgailte, never play the crunluath a mach (open)



Standard







Ian Whitelaw's Rules for Interpreting Light Music


1. Always hold the first beat of the bar, - some longer than others but always hold the first beat.


2. Play the note with a doubling on it a little longer in order to accent it – not much but be sure you do not skip over the note.


3. Always hold the D after making a D throw in order to accent the note. When the note is cut, be sure to finish the note.


4. About playing two notes that are the same such as A to A or B to B, for example: when the notes are divided by a movement / grace note, always give weight to the second note.


5. Always hold the note after playing a taorluath – not before.


6. When playing a G,D,E movement, the accent or weight goes on the note with the F grace note.


7. When playing a 3 note run, accent the third note. The run is a fancy way of playing the last note. The third note is the one that gets the attention and the weight.


8. When playing two long notes, whether they are dotted or just long notes, give the weight or accent to the second note. This is also referred to as an “after beat.” It's very useful in the playing of 2/4 marches and reels.


9. Always hold the A after the birl. The birl is an embellishment of A. Sometimes the music directs to cut the A after the birl and go to High A, - this is fine because the birl is still accenting A.


10. Always separate the doublings from the tachums.


11. When playing a cut note at the beginning of a bar, hold the note prior to it slightly so that the cut note falls exactly on the beat.

Ian Whitelaw <whitelaw@ucr.edu>4:49 PM (5 hours ago)to meGreetings Scott,How wonderful to hear from you.I would be delighted to teach you and help in you any way I can.Other than the geography of the big pipe compared to the small pipe, the music is the same.  There is a bit of a different culture but that is the cool thing about the various kinds of instruments.  I have never liked the “snob culture” that exists on both sides of the aisle sometimes.I have a cousin in Australia that I have never met that belongs to a small pipe club and he sent me a link to watch (I never got a chance to tune in).  Some of the things they say made me laugh when I watched the highlights…Obviously it is online for the foreseeable future so is there a time that you could work?  I am available on Mondays through Wednesdays - I teach classes at UCR on Monday and Wednesday so I am sure we can work something out.  Please let me know and we can proceed.  My rate is 65.00.I am happy to have the chance to help you Scott.Kind regards,Ian

Scott MacLeod <sgkmacleod@gmail.com>8:30 PM (1 hour ago)to Scott, IanGreat, Ian, 
Thanks so so much ... and likewise! How to create a new culture out of our potential communication is a new direction ... Besides Ceol Mor and Ceol Beag with your guidelines, and in particular finding the groove (eg Stuart Liddell and Gordon Duncan-wise, but on SSP), in an innovative way, am curious about jamming with Piobaireachd melodies (since couldn't Pibroch be understood as a kind of 'piping the blues' :) creatively between 2 pipers and, say, with the Allman Brothers with Jerry Garcia in '73 at Cow Palace in SF - https://youtu.be/DNAmXz8kc6I - from around 2:50 - 3;10 but throughout, and possibly with singing too (which the small pipes' free up:). How best to explore, and with rhythm and blues' drumming even ... What keys are these Allman Bros. songs in? My chanters are in A, D, and B flat mixolydian, and the baritone drone can tune a 4th or a 5th above the 'tonic note.' Canaireachd too as jabberwocky "'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;All mimsy were the borogoves,And the mome raths" would some of this be alternative culture, hippy culture, piping counterculture ? :)  ... But first, the difference between the Crunluath and Crunluath a Mach, - and perhaps Piobaireachd from the CoP Yellow Tutor Vol 4, and the Light Music from my album, among other many other pieces? What's the URL for your cousin's SSP club video, if I understand you correctly? Might we meet in a Google Meet video conference, to which I would invite you? How about, during Covid-19 pandemic, possibly at 11 am on a Tuesday or Wednesday (since I hold a WUaS News and Q&A on Mondays at 10am, so Mondays aren't great at this time, and attend some Stanford talks online around noon on some days)? Other times would be possible ... Is your rate $65 for an hour, or for what time frame please? Thanks so so much, Ian!

Developing World Univ & Sch's Courses in Many Languages (from best STEM CC-4 OCW)

To Lydia, Prasanth, Sri, Zalmat, Iulian, Iulian, abdelwaheb, Tanya, Jayni, Kyle, tito, Juan, Yuping-CASPA, Andrzej, MariuszS, Petros, WUaS, Rohit, Rohit, Rohit, Scott, Nidahas, nidahasvidyalaya, WUaS, Peter, mazumdarp, Marisol, Hostsave, me, Shahbaz, ShahrzadHI Sri, Houcemeddine, Lydia, Prasanth, All, 
https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/Tamil%20language

Thanks for your email, Rifai, and regarding both the Sinhala language (in Sri Lanka), and Tamil language, just across the ocean in India from you. Thanks too for your offer to begin building a learning management system (LMS) in Moodle, "if our [WUaS] plans with edX and G Suite do not go well." Am glad that WUaS is in G Suite For Education (since 2015, thanks to Google's Evan Schmidt), and that it could be very helpful for many things, but also even for reimbursement from all ~200 countries' departments of education for CC-4 MIT OCW-centric WUaS). And it seems that WUaS is in the process of partnering with edX, but that WUaS needs, as I calculate it, $101,000, so $50,000 to interoperate the edX Dashboard with the WUaS platform (presumably in G Suite), in Wikibase (thanks, Houcemeddine, Abdelwaheeb, here in this email thread), and $51,000 for 150 students for one year which WUaS would pay to edX (in a students' 4 year free online Bachelor degrees' program) first in English. So how to build out WUaS's other languages - and toward degrees? 
I'd like to introduce you all to Prasanth and Imad, WUaS's 2 prospective graduate students potentially beginning in May 1, and potentially taking edX undergraduate courses to matriculate at WUaS in September 1 for probably 7-year avg time to completion WUaS PhDs (https://ocw.mit.edu/). 
Prasanth is very interested in developing Tamil language World Univ & Sch, as well as all 22 scheduled languages in India, and regarding the WUaS Press's machine translations-into-books as products, even. Regarding my recently published 5th book, "Light, Float, Sit, Watsu ~ Virtually: ..." - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2021/01/natural-arch-tirumala-hills.html - I'm glad he's forwarded the idea of experimenting with translation of this book in English into Tamil! And he shared with me the India National Machine Translation email, and forwarded my email too:
Scott: Thanks a lot.  I forwarded it toNational Translation Machine
(projectdirector.ntm@gmail.com)-Prasanth
Here's the book (and which could be sold in each of your countries and languages, to create careers, and generate revenue, and opportunities for degrees)
Light, Float, Sit, #Watsu ~ Virtually: Bodymind Electricity Sings to Me at #HarbinHotSprings & Other Traveling Poems' (book) is AVAILABLE ! :)

So, 
Starting a new Tamil language World University and School for Tamil Nadu-ans, in Tamil, and thanks to Prasanth in Madurai, south India


Perhaps you've noted here for example - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/12/tussilago-farfara-coltsfoot.html - that WUaS educational approach has 2 sides to it:


1) free to students' DEGREES - with students taking MIT OCW and  NEWLY edX courses, as WUaS licensing with BPPE and accredits with WASC senior

2) WUaS is a free wiki, for open teaching and learning, where you or I can add free high quality courses, and teaching resources to our WUaS wikis - and eventually in Tamil, in French, in Arabic - now in English. But these resources, like Youtube videos you created teaching something in Tamil about Electronics' engineering, or free books like the ones you shared -  or Coursera+Khan Academy courses - would NOT be for credit, toward WUaS free degrees.


There are a number of ways to add discussions, for example to a WUaS wiki subject page - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Academic_Freedom_Studies - for example this subheading, which will be translated into potentially all 7,117 known living languages -

2.13 Select Conversations / Dialogues / Idea Competitions

- and which will be added to all WIKI subjects via - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/SUBJECT_TEMPLATE - and with artificial intelligence too,

- so that, for example, you could start a Google group with a group of WUaS students, or a Twitter conversation





I can see a number of directions that World Univ & Sch would head in with regarding to developing WUaS in the Tamil language:


1 Supporting scientific papers that are written in Tamil - perhaps in a Google Scholar sort of way

2 Creating online university and school on both sides (for degrees and as wiki schools) - and on WUaS platforms as they develop

3 Translation from many languages into Tamil language by developing the machine translation, both for poetry and STEM

...

So Prasanth, entering a WUaS PhD program would involve your taking some edX courses (and not research) this summer - if and as WUaS proceeds with partnering with edX - to prepare you for entering this PhD program, and candidacy, in your major, and Imad, probably some Computer Science undergraduate courses
https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2021/01/karthigaipoo-gloriosa-flower.html

*And we in this email thread are all the core multi-language group at World Univ & Sch. So in what ways can we bring together the platforms of G Suite for Education with Google Translate in ~100 languages, WUaS Wikibase/ Wikidata in ~300 languages, with the 22 official / scheduled languages of India National Machine Translation organization ... in a new platform, and even to produce a product too - like my "Light, Float, Sit, Watsu ~ Virtually: ..." book in each of your languages with machine translation - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2021/01/natural-arch-tirumala-hills.html ? And how best to bring these 3 platforms together too for translating MIT OCW courses into WUaS edX courses (possibly on the WUaS G Suite platform) ... in each of your languages especially?

While I need to look at the copyright information further, I'm thinking even in terms of you developing Tamil language World Univ & Sch, and the WUaS Press, and even possibly a book that could be sold in Tamil Nadu. And how could we further develop Google Translate into Tamil in the process, and then how best to set up a publishing process from digital to paper (like KDP Amazon) for WUaS itself, in Tamil Nadu and in the Tamil Language WITH TRANSLATION with machine learning using GOOGLE TRANSLATE for example. 
It could be great to possibly both publish this at the WUaS Press in Tamil, as well as print and distribute this in Tamil Nadu - http://worlduniversityandschool.org/AcademicPress.html. I'm including Larry Viehland here who is the chair of the Board at WUaS, and also the CFO for his thinking too. 
If you were interested in translating this, or something like this, I'm wondering about first just sending you a single poem from this book, for translation experimentation. And then I wonder too about exploring possibly something like my 10 or 20 favorite poems from all 4 of my books for translation into a book in Tamil language for sale on paper in Tamil Nadu. Thoughts about all of this?
Would you be interested in exploring some of this further? 
Thank you!
Sincerely, Scott

Thank you, Prasanth, for your interest in translating some of my new book of poetry "Light, Float, Sit, Watsu ~ Virtually" (2021) re your "I'm interested in sir" email earlier. 
Light, Float, Sit, #Watsu ~ Virtually: Bodymind Electricity Sings to Me at #HarbinHotSprings & Other Traveling Poems' (book) is AVAILABLE ! :)

Let's get the WUaS Press started in GDocs - which seems to be such a GREAT platform to develop a new press in. 

Here's the book's first poem, and Google Translate - https://translate.google.com/ - as a little step toward translating it: 

Light, Float, Sit

Light

lights

Harbin

harmony 

in one, waters warm, 

immense, immersion, milieu d’eau.

Float

flies 

in warm

watery 

ease-me-in present, 

a gift of flight in fluid d’eau, 

where freedom finds releasing in among hug nude friends. 

Sit,  

roots

around,

touch all cells, 

water pool food

intimate naked yes exchange, 

of mind body suit seamlessly freeing we who connect under stars, skies, Harbin-wise.

Am thinking it might be good regarding my 4 poetry books as 'products' in the Tamil language potentially, to keep them 'whole' (rather than choose my favorite 10-20 poems for example, and compile these into a new volume). And we can work out the further steps to the WUaS Press in GDocs re printing to paper etc later!
I've created some beginning documents below, but won't share access with you quite yet, until we work out a translation and publishing process little further. 
Regards, ScottAs this web site develops - http://worlduniversityandschool.org/AcademicPress.html - I'm hopeful WUaS can develop this WUaS Press and WUaS Bookstore in Tamil on a new platform experimentally, and possibly sell your translation of my book from this even.

Arches National Park: Dear Anthony, Prasanth, Fritz, Universitians, (and greetings George Preston, my old Kimmerghame Housemaster at Fettes College in Edinburgh Scotland in 1977-1978), All, - "WUaS News, Q&A, and Conversation 1/4/21 (2021-01-04 at 10:02

A great university, and high school (IB with Lego Robotics, from MIT OpenCourseWare on edX platform?), in your home ... and in your country, and your language - for free :), and wiki too :))? 

Scott MacLeod <sgkmacleod@worlduniversityandschool.org>1:12 PM (3 hours ago)to Anthony, Fritz, Koh, Prasanth, George, Larry, Meeting, Info, Scott, AndrewDear Anthony, Prasanth, Fritz, Universitians, (and greetings George Preston, my old Kimmerghame Housemaster at Fettes College in Edinburgh Scotland in 1977-1978), All,  
Thanks so much for your conversation today in the 
"WUaS News, Q&A, and Conversation 1/4/21 (2021-01-04 at 10:02 GMT-8)" 
https://drive.google.com/file/d/168LdWxnwpfffVOZJGOoz10848AguOGm5/view

The Google Meet video conference video recording worked out, as a new first (for WUaS -  World Univ & Sch)! And glad you two, Anthony & Fritz, could both meet for the first time face-to-face, and it seems in communication with Doutzen Groothof (standtall.biz) in the Hague (whom it's interesting to learn of, from you both), and also involved in International Baccalaureate education potentially. (I lived with a Quaker family, the Kruegers, for 2.5 months at the end of my 13 months' time studying in Munich, Germany, in 1981-82, at LMU, in part, and through a Reed College program, with classrooms in Olympiazentrum).
Here, per our conversation, are two related Wiki World Univ & Sch subjects - Indigenous languages of the Americas - 
https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Indigenous_languages_of_the_Americas 

WUaS IB Diploma and Programme wiki subject page for starters - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/WUaS_International_Baccalaureate_Diploma_and_Programme
WUaS is planning to offer online IB programme in each of all ~200 countries, and in their main / official languages 
In terms of a kind of structure of and information about WUaS, both of the above wiki subjects are accessible here - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Subjects - but neither of these pages have much MIT OpenCourseWare (which eventually be for credit); check out some of the creative wiki subjects at WUaS too, and not just the Academic wiki subjects, which of course also are creative.

And here's the "JuryX" course from Harvard Law Emeritus Charles Nesson I mentioned, which I found inspiring in 2016, and which builds as a course most successfully on the edX platform, in my opinion, to give you some idea of what edX is about too (and with which WUaS is in the process of partnering): 
JuryX: Deliberations for Social Change
https://www.edx.org/course/juryx-deliberations-for-social-change

In what ways could WUaS with your visionary guidance Anthony build out 3 lower level and 3 upper level end of high school IB courses (for ages 16,17 and 18?) on the edX platform, using this course as a model, and which would be IB credentialed with students receiving an online IB diploma upon successful completion - eventually in all ~200 countries, and in their official and main languages? (Charlie Nesson is also deeply informed by the spirit of 1960s' freedom seeking movements, and is a very successful Harvard Law Emeritus Professor, re the freedom and success of the IB diploma).
Anthony, brainstorming-wise, in what ways could MIT OCW-centric WUaS get and matriculate Harrow student graduates beginning this May 1, 2021 or September 1, even - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harrow_School - https://www.harrowschool.org.uk - and for free-to-students' online undergraduate 4-year Bachelor degrees (with initial licensing and accreditation in CA's BPPE and WASC) that are CC-4 MIT OCW-centric? Possibly 25- 50 and where the department of education in England - eg https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/department-for-education or similar - might reimburse WUaS per student per year even, due to the CC-4 licensing? Free MIT-centric degrees for English students are good value! 
Far more than an edX course brainstorming-wise too, I wonder about creating a voluntary "Mapping the Territory" entree in Google SketchUp into the 'World University world' from something like this - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/You_at_World_University - planning brainstorming-wise for all 7.8 billion people on the planet, where everyone is a wiki teacher or learner, and in each of all 7,117 known living languages, and in all ~200 nation states / countries.
I'll add the above video here to my blog entry from December 29, 2020 (beginning with Eastern screech owl) - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/12/eastern-screech-owl.html - where our previous email communications until today are, and to a new blog post from today. Looking forward to further communications about all of this, and thank you so much Anthony & Fritz for joining the conversation today!
Sincerely, Scott
PSLooked up some etymologies of the word 'harrow' re harrowing, re your great old alma mater, Anthony :) ... 
https://www.etymonline.com/word/harrow

https://www.dictionary.com/browse/harrow

... and straw boater hats are part of the school uniform? :)
... must learn more .... The above etymologies are quite non-specific to Harrow 1572 which was founded about 64 years before Harvard College 1636, the oldest school & university in the US, I think.



Good morning, Anthony, & World University community!

Hello Dear UUCPA Choir,

 Here is UU Church of Bloomington, Indiana car choir. . I sang with this group when I lived in Bloomington 2016 2017.

Happy New Year!
Love to all,           LindaGrace

Scott MacLeod <musicalmacflower@gmail.com>Jan 2, 2021, 1:40 PM (1 day ago)to Steve, Bruce, Robert, Jack, LindaGrace, choir, bcc: JanieDear Steve, Linda, UUCPA, UUs, 
So great - real real time music-making with a FM transistor, - for remote individuals. AM appreciating that both videos you shared, the LA Times' choir, and 'Da Upper Yoopers UU choir" could be very doable in the UUCPA parking lot in the back - and since cars are naturally self-quarantining, in the Covid-19 pandemic, and potentially good sound capsules. 
- https://www.latimes.com/world-nation/story/2020-12-30/coronavirus-choir-silence

- https://drive.google.com/file/d/1CMNXRdRXchcvcBE7A4o-SmgMmQJ4JesR/view?fbclid=IwAR3HGH_TCQyJUcn60iTOsfvV2YF7_wncq17oIZwGQJrQirn4FTtvVsvef00 
Bruce, will you bring a podium out to the parking lot, in lovely winter-weather California SF Bay Area? :)
If really viable, it sounds like it could be something that Apple Inc., or MIT OCW-centric World Univ & Sch's Music Schools (in all 7117 known living languages, as wiki schools), or a Toyota, could come to produce as a product! And is such a FM transistor already built into some brands and models of cars, simply to be engaged with the know how? And it could certainly work for any instrument in a car, such as the Scottish Small Pipes in a van (https://scottmacleodhoneyinthebagscottishsmallpipesbagpiping.bandcamp.com/track/the-pumpkins-fancy-h-scott-gk-macleod), but not the Great Highland Bagpipes, for example. And in what ways are FM transistor set ups easily connected, or in, our smart phones already, or connectable to our laptops, I wonder (for possibly less good sound quality than a car?) ... and how to develop a FM transistor for choirs, with specific needs of choir singers in mind, and small musical instrument players too? 
Am wondering too how all these digital technologies - like the Apple-Google tracing App on our smartphones - combined with electronic medical records after receiving a vaccine, if medically mandated, will change the dynamic of the the make ups of choirs, and churches, if some people might need to self-quarantine indefinitely; could this lead to further home singing, with excellent FM transistor add-ons, from car, home or smartphone? Please keep us posted!
Any thoughts about the UU Choir of Kensington / Berkeley in the east bay hills, and joining it virtually - with a FM transistor?
Here's an unfolding inquiry about transcendentalism writ personal - http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/12/forest-park-portland-oregon-hiroshi.html - somehwhat informed by UU thinking since the first half of the 1800s; appreciating Paul Sawyer's thinking here too. :)
