Irish Music : On the Net!
During the month of March, I generally try to cover subjects in my class on Railroad Songs, Irish Folk songs and then dance a gig or two. However, since I left all my resource materials at school and I wanted to get my article done before the deadline, a great idea popped into my head, (desperation does that to me) and VOILA! This week's article is Irish Music on the Internet!

Let Freedom Sing!: Get Your Rights, Jack
In February, 1964, freedom workers were picketing Leb's restaurant in Atlanta. Thousands of passers-by, diners-out, and spectators crowded the four corners of the intersection. Demonstrators lined the two sides of the street. Suddenly an old man dressed in the red-piped, white satin robes of a Klan Cyclops limped through the narrow aisle of the sidewalk between restaurant and curb, leading a line of white-sheeted followers and a half dozen shirt-sleeved boys and men.

Music Software Heaven: (for your little angels)
As teachers, we are constantly thinking of ways to treat our students and I would assume that generally means keeping stocked up on "Jolly Ranchers" or the like. But, as we all know, with just a little extra preparation AND perhaps a little "moo-la" too, we can treat our students (and ourselves) to some exciting interactive software. My picks, as of this article, are fun AND educational.

The Orff Process
Carl Orff was a German composer and educator. Orff defined the ideal music for children, "never music alone, but music connected with movement, dance, and speech - not to be listened to, meaningful only in active participation." Orff said, "Experience first, then intellectualize."

BOO-tiful Sites!
'Tis the month for tricks and treats! I hope these sites fall under the "treats" category. October happens to be one of the most activity-fertile months for children's music!

Folkin' It!
Dancing is one of those activities that keep us fun-loving and young-acting! And even if you're not a dancer (tsk, tsk), then watching dancers, to most, is fascinating. There's nothing quite like movin' to the grooves or groovin' to the moves. Music is such a marvelous subject to teach because it's all-encompassing. These sites are informative and fun and I've tried to have a wide assortment of styles, so hopefully there'll be something for everyone.
