Like Tips for adapting the elementary music curriculum to online teachingFebruary 17, 2021 at 8:30 AM Teachers of the performing arts are adapting their classes to go online. The problems and challenges range from ensuring enough physical space for movement around each student’s computer to overcoming audio and video syncing delays during the live feed. Some of the solutions include doing less movement during the class and turning off students’ video so there is less latency in the audio. But what about elementary music?Young students are inspired by seeing others move with them. The teacher can...Tags: Books, Music, Usa, Featured, Education, Social Sciences, Salvador, Elizabeth Caldwell, Music Education, Arts & Humanities, Subtopics, Elementary Music Education, Lyda, Kim Milai, Elementary Music, Online Teaching 17 people like this.

Like Joseph Riepel and a very long helloFebruary 2, 2021 at 5:30 AM Joseph Riepel’s celebrated music theory treatise, Anfangsgründe zur musicalischen Setzkunst, unfolds in a lively and witty manner. Most of its chapters are framed in the guise of lessons, presented as dialogues between a teacher and student. The teacher is a bit of a goofball who peppers the lessons with numerous sarcastic asides, often at the expense of mathematically oriented music theorists whose approaches he finds too dry and inartistic. The student is no mere pushover, and on numerous occa...Tags: Books, Music, Featured, Haydn, Joseph Haydn, Ludwig van Beethoven, Neubauer, Arts & Humanities, Music Theory, Subtopics, Galant, Wolfgang Mozart, Joseph Riepel, Riepel, Franz Christoph Neubauer, Riepel Neubauer 26 people like this. Like Technology in the elementary music classroom after the pandemicJanuary 25, 2021 at 5:30 AM The pandemic will leave a lasting impression on music education for years to come. Even when the ending of the pandemic is finally in sight, music education will reel from the effects. When it comes to elementary music education, we thrived on incorporating ensemble performances using instruments from ukuleles to xylophones. We adored allowing our students to improvise using movements, chants, poetry, and instruments. We integrated cultural dances with social-emotional learning skills.

But if Masetto will come home with her now, Zerlina coaxes, she’s ready to administer her own pleasant balm. It’s a natural cure, she says, that she carries with her everywhere. One no chemist can make.

Like Playing the opposite of what Brahms wroteNovember 15, 2020 at 5:30 AM What might we learn from an oddity concerning the first movement of Brahms’s Violin Sonata No. 1 in G, op. 78, that has led many violin-piano duos either to ignore Brahms’s tempo markings or actually play the opposite of what he wrote?Brahms’s score is explicit. The basic tempo is Vivace ma non troppo (lively, but not overly so). Near the middle of this mostly lyrical movement, when the movement’s most agitated music begins, Brahms wrote più sostenuto (more sustained).

Like From Stradivari to Spotify: How new technology has always inspired new musicNovember 19, 2019 at 5:30 AM Successful composers, authors, and scientists have distinctive writing styles which define all their works. They are rarely in isolation from their contemporaries, so their work is inherently time stamped. Similarities can exist with their students and followers, so they set the pattern of writing over one or two generations.The normal assumption is that the evolution of music has been primarily from emulation of winners and current fashion. Certainly, this is a major factor, but it overlooks ex...Tags: Spotify, Books, Music, Featured, History, Engineering, History of science, Sound Engineering, Science History, Science & Medicine, Arts & Humanities, Antonio Stradivari, Stradivari, Peter Townsend, Subtopics, History Of Music 21 people like this.

Like The maestro speaks: Ennio Morricone on life and musicMarch 30, 2019 at 5:30 AM Over his esteemed six decade career, Italian composer Ennio Morricone has scored hundreds of movies across numerous genres, most famously the Spaghetti Westerns of Sergio Leone. Many of his most iconic musical cues—to name just three, the coyote-like “wah-wah” of The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly, the haunting harmonica from Once Upon a Time in the West, and the distinct oboe of The Mission—have transcended their films to cement their place in popular culture, referenced in cartoons and commercial...Tags: Videos, Books, Music, Featured, Time, Italy, Beethoven, Westerns, Quentin Tarantino, Multimedia, The Hateful Eight, The Mission, Film Scores, Ennio Morricone, Tarantino, Django Unchained 10 people like this. Like Making music American: a playlist from 1917December 13, 2018 at 3:30 AM The entrance of the United States into World War I on 6 April 1917 inspired a flood of new music from popular songwriters. Simultaneously, the first recording of instrumental jazz was released in April 1917, touching off a fad for the new style and inspiring record companies to promote other artists before year’s end. Victor and Columbia, the industry leaders, developed technological innovations that made possible the first recordings of a full symphony orchestra. These recordings are a sample o...Tags: Spotify, Europe, Books, Music, Featured, Congress, France, Germany, US, Indiana, History, United States, Paris, World War I, Manhattan, Jazz 24 people like this.
