@AcanthaLang so lovely to meet you this week. Listening to the warm vocals this cold Saturday afternoon and it's the perfect antidote to a autumn day. Thanks @Tomkiehl for the intro.
Love this!
bro said "yes of course" and decided to cook up the most immaculate beat known to man 😭 xitter.gq/jimmylubetron/status/1…

Great to see this! Thanks for sharing
The ISM was pleased to participate in a roundtable organised by @DCMS minister @RhonddaBryant, to discuss issues impacting musicians, including AI, touring post-Brexit and music education. It was good to hear government's priorities for music and musicians.

Well if you need a lift in your spirits today and a reminder that every one of us and our voices matter, this thread may be what you need
We couldn’t help but notice how much of yesterday’s #KingsSpeech was born out of campaigning! Let’s take a look at some of the new legislation.

I cannot thank Ruby and Bev enough for sharing their story. I thank everyone in the room for making sure they felt the love #O2SilverClefs
A huge thank you to Bev and her daughter Ruby who spoke so movingly about the impact that music therapy has had on Ruby

This! All day....this. This level of connection, attention, care, curiosity.
Here’s one of the most fascinating child development videos I’ve ever shared.
As your baby learns language, they begin by approximating the examples you set.
After a period of early experimentation with sound (including cries, coos and gurgles), infants begin babbling - making speech-like sounds (which often include components of conventional speech) that are - nonetheless - not yet conventionally meaningful.
This babbling phase is a precursor to the use of formal words. And it happens in all languages.
Including sign language.
This video shows an infant (who, by the way, is not hearing impaired) “babbling” to her deaf grandparents.
As they sign to her, she responds in kind, using her hands to approximate the signed communication that they are modeling.
It’s a whole serve and return conversation, just as if they were conversing verbally.
If you’ll watch carefully, you’ll note distinct turn taking.
And - interestingly - that with her grandparents she largely avoids vocalizations, in favor of gesture.
What a treat to see this rich example of bilingual language development.
This fascinating video was shared to TT by mara_mccullough.
