Web 2.0 Challenge 8

Everyone loves inspirational quotes...



I'm not sure how I could use this in Band, but I could see where it would be incredibly helpful in our Theory classes. I'll have to sit down with a cup of coffee one weekend (soon!) and experiment!

This is an excerpt from the West Side Story studio recording. Bernstein comes close to completely losing it with Jose Carreras over rhythm. Ignore what Bernstein has in his mouth!!!! Unfortunately, embedding was disabled.

Web 2.0 Challenge 7

This is my first experience with Social Bookmarking...I think it will be very handy and something that I will use a lot. I'm not sure how exactly I will use it with my students, although there have already been times this year that kids have wanted to show me something online and we've had to search for it, so if they were "social bookmarked" we could have just went that route.

a possibility

An old friend turned me on to this piece....thinking of doing it with combined Wind Ensemble and Concert Band....have to peruse the score first....
