Personally,

Loving the thinking here ...

... would like to be able to easily apply it to my own further learning of piano, and Scottish Small Pipes ...

and to teach my kids with some of Xiao Xiao's technologies ... and especially as if they were inspired by a very amazing human teacher they connected with ...

*
Not sure though it will open the way for me to play Bach, Scottish, and the Blues amazingly, improvisation-ally, and the way I might invent ... will have to explore

*
As great as this is, I'm not sure it provides the avenues "in" (or "interventions") to change my own approaches to learning music ... and I hope to converse further with Xiao Xiao about this ...


*
Will some of her programs work for me? How will one measure and assess how it works for others? How easy will it be for me and for others to adapt this in ways that will help our kids, and schools of kids?

*
Would like to focus on Tricia Woods' 3 volumes of Blues piano books, Scottish Country Dance music, as well as Bach Inventions ...

*
And how to engage this in new ways for singing? I'd like to sing walking base lines, harmony in Steeleye Span, and some Gospel (Fairfield Four, Georgia Peach ...)


Academically, Media Lab-wise,

What about hippie learning approaches vis-a-vis some of Xiao Xiao's versatile conceiving in this video?

*
And what about identity approaches (beyond "thinking identities" such as highest achieving students), so, ethnic/linguistic identity thinking? ...

WUaS may well be able to research and study this, and comparatively, in all languages ...

*
Conceptually ... more about this perhaps later ... Xiao Xiao opens up so many avenues emerging conceptually and innovatively out of Media Lab thinking ... great and fascinating (appreciating her moving tribute to Marvin Minsky here too) ...

*
Love her far-reaching technological innovations in video - mind-expanding in combination with her thinking!

*
What about eliciting loving bliss using some of these new approaches to music-making?

*
After hearing this, how to begin to love to make music in different ways, and make music in such a way to help others elicit loving bliss with music-making?

Thank you, Xiao Xiao, so very much for your VERY GREAT academic "defense" as contribution!!!
