Songwriting and Discussion Forum
In our Intro to Music Technology class, we learn how to listen deeply, create grooves, play with solid rhythm, remix existing songs and create our own original work. For final projects, our talented students create an electronic portfolio in the form of an artist CD featuring their best works. Some of those works are available here for your review.
we discussed this a bit in class, especially with our advanced students. Imagine music performance where the audience is surrounded by the musicians.
This was done in early church and court music (15th century) and generally fell out of common practice for a few hundred years. Modern composers since the 1900's have picked up this idea again and created some great concert pieces. Live "surround sound"

Fun Link(s) of the Week:
On this episode of Live From Daryl's House, Fugees rapper, guitarist, and activist, WyclefJean stops by to put a whole new spin on the Hall & Oates classic, "Rich Girl." It's a family affair at Daryl's House as Wyclef enlists his sister to help prepare the quintessential Haitian meal. Wait til' you see what they have in store, you're gonna flip!
Many thanks to Diane Jackson in the transitional program for this link.
Heard this on the way to school today and just had to share it. I love when all-girl bands are this real and rockin'. WERS is a great "go to" place for music that is not of the usual variety. They also do a great job putting the on-air playlist up immediately, and with lots of additional media links. I think that is an excellent use of technology to enhance the radio listening experience.

99% Invisible: "A tiny radio show about design, architecture & the 99% invisible activity that shapes our world"
Here are 3 great clips from a public radio show that I believe are perfect examples for you to hear and consider, so, listen away, feel free to comment in your journals or work into your own creative projects in class. Maybe even consider producing your own "radio show" (Podcast?) Enjoy!!

possible melodies can be made from the finite set of tones in our chromatic scale. Along the way, Michael of the Vsauce channel references so many topics that we cover in class that I would rate this a "Must See" for everyone, Intro through Advanced level.
