Once my classroom was packed up, I spent yesterday writing a blog post about group songwriting It's been an embarrassingly long interval since my last post. I might try to write more over the summer :) melodiousintent.wordpress.co…

So impressed by this sweet little portrait Love that the artist included my glasses, mask, and headset mic (and my asymmetrical hair)
A small hand holds a whiteboard with a portrait of Ms Trites drawn in purple. There is a sun and clouds in the sky, and grass on the ground. Ms Trites has asymmetrical hair and wears glasses, a mask, and a headset mic

My heart is overflowing Giubilo Honour Choir spent their last two rehearsals of the season co-composing this song together #ThanksToYourHRM #SeeWhatImLearning
Sheet music for a song title "Slay All Day," lyrics and music by the Giubilo Honour choir 2023 Lyrics for the melody are: powerful, united, beautiful. Strong and proud, and different but brave. She is all that you can be. You are her and she is me. Descant line: we are stronger, stronger together Boxed text at the bottom reads: you can change the words, add more words, or add new parts to the music. Some of your suggestions were: perfect in every way; The world can be a scary place, but our words can make it ok, grateful, cheerful, magical, evil gnomes are watching you, we'll stick together through thick and thin always The score also includes chord symbols (alternating Dm and C) and body percussion

It's been an absolute delight to work with these incredible young people every week. I had no idea how the writing process would go, but just look at what they came up with! Note: their song works well in canon

And by “peel,” I meant “peek” Obviously I’m a sleepy music teacher

On Monday I was chatting with @MsCsMusicClass about the Paddle Bass, a one string bass designed for music Ed + music therapy. Kala discontinued it and I was really disappointed This morning, she found one (Long and McQuade folks found it kicking around and priced it to sell)

Now I feel like I won the lottery: I found the exact product I had given up on, it was cheaper than I ever imagined, and I have a teacher pal with eagle eyes 👀
