When you recognize the music in the park. I just heard an oom-pah version of the thunderer.
I pulled out my music history book for some fugue info for my 8th graders and opened up to the note my high school band director left me when he gave me this book at graduation.
Best high school graduation gift ever. Because I really do still use it.
Memory lane, party for one?
Yesterday a civil war reenactment trio came and played for our 7th grade music students. They were funny, educational, and very interactive. The kids all had the “this is so awesome” face.
Put new low e strings in two classical guitars today! Not as difficult as one would think. Especially when YouTube helps.
In my class, it’s not just me that does this. It’s also every student not in that section.
Sight read this with my 8th grade band today. It was pretty recognizable. The spring concert is going to be legit this year.
My predecessor’s score marking. This is why I always make a copy if the score. So I can mark it up and not make future band directors erase the crap out of music.
