One of my very favorite quotes:
"Art is how we decorate Space.
Music is how we decorate Time."
"Art is how we decorate Space.
Music is how we decorate Time."
Why do we "Do Music"? Music is an audible emotion, the indescribable quality that makes us human. A listener can hear a piece of music and feel pain from a loss remembered, joy from a lilting melody, and introspection from ambiguous and universal sounds of nature. Music is a creative way for the brain to take in information. Not every person learns in the same way. Music reflects history and can be the jumping off board to understanding of human experiences, culture, eras, and feelings. It can build and encourage creativity that we all need ,which can lead to better problem solving. Music gives people a way to express themselves in words, movement, and/or sound. Students often get their 1st experiences of saying foreign languages, and understanding of cultures they do not know, in music class. It is organization and coordinates with all other core curriculum. Music is one of the few disciplines that work across Left-Right brain transference, on top of building self-esteem, giving students the willingness to try, and eagerness to succeed.
“Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination and life to everything."
A NEW NORMAL !
Things have changed abruptly since the onset of COVID-19.
People have already asked me "How can you teach Voice/Piano/Flute on the computer?". It does take a little set-up, as far as computers, keyboard, cameras and microphones- BUT-it is SO worth it! A music lesson is the wonderful break in your day, a stress reliever, a way to connect, a creative outlet, as well as many other wonderful things which we have talked about before.
LET'S DO THIS!
