  • Teach Me Something New

    Teach Me Something New

    Michelle asked to learn something new from her students and fans, and you responded. What did we learn? So much! This edition is specifically for artists, songs, or instruments that we don’t already know because of geographic, religious, or cultural origin.

    British Singer-Songwriter Ewan McColl

    From New Zealand, including some Maori language:

    Maori Instrument: Taonga Puoro

    Portuguese Guitar (guitarra portuguesa)

    Shulem Lemmer

    Keith Jarrett

    The Köln Concert – Wikipedia

    Poor Man’s Poison

    Baba Yetu by Stellenbosch University Choir

    How to Make Gravy by Paul Kelly

    Anything else we should learn? Feel free to post in the comments or send us an email at lessons@michelletuesday.com or text 614-418-7110. We love learning new music and sharing it with everyone else.

  • February Theme: Marching Band

    February Theme: Marching Band

    This month in the music lab check out the stations for Marching Bands. If you didn’t know, OSU has the largest band in college football with 228 members. Local high schools also have marching bands, perhaps you’ve seen them at the games.

    Marching bands make interesting shapes and move during the music. Below are a song and a show done by Marching Bands to give you a good idea of what the students are learning.

  • Keep On Rockin’

    Keep On Rockin’

    Two weeks ago we at MTMS shared about our new Rock’n’Roll history station, and we also brought in composition and a playlist station (which you’ll hear about next week).

    This composition station is so popular with the students! We have a short bit of instructions, because mostly we need specific instruments in rock: vocals, electric guitar, electric bass, and drums. Note that we aren’t limited to just those, but that’s where we start.

    I seem to only be able to link the song above, because it is public. Click the play button on the top of the sheet music. Enjoy this version, and I have a few screenshots of other pieces to share. I’m amazed at how many students have tried this already in the first week, and also how much creativity they bring to the songs. Ask your student about their rock’n’roll experiences and if they wrote or are going to write a song. Maybe they’ll share it with you, too!
