Problem with rear end (not on bench for long enough) SPECIFIC TO PERFORMING Must be loud: "P stands for 'Project'; 'MF means 'More Forceful'" Tune is like Ice-cream.

New studies are emerging that show Generation Alpha using YouTube to an even greater extent - Established in 2005 - Millions of videos – every genre imaginable - 500 hours of content uploaded every minute! Benefits of using YouTube as a learning tool are: 1) Flipped instruction a. Have student learn about topic outside of lesson and report back what they learned 2) Supplemental Information a.

J.S. Bach became a musician, earning the coveted role as Thomaskantor (the cantor/music director) for the Lutheran church Sebastian of St. Thomas in Leipzig. At St. Thomas, Bach composed cantatas for just about every major church holiday, featuring a variety of different voice types Bach and instruments, and from which his famed chorales are sung to this day in churches and choral productions. As an organist, he was well known for his ability to improvise extensively on hymn (chorale) tunes, and for reharmonizing (1685-1750) older melodies to fit his Baroque aesthetic. Many of these tunes also remain recognizable in church hymnals. Just as his chorales serve as a basis in composition technique for young musicians today, his collection of keyboard works entitled The Well-Tempered Clavier serves even now as an introduction to preludes and fugues for students of the piano.

  • The Edwin A. Fleisher Collection of Orchestral Music: Latin American Orchestral Works
    2016-17 The Edwin A. Fleisher Collection of Orchestral Music: Latin American Orchestral Works Compiled by Gary Galván The Edwin A. Fleisher Collection of Orchestral Music at the Free Library of Philadelphia THE EDWIN A. FLEISHER COLLECTION OF ORCHESTRAL MUSIC Background Philadelphia philanthropist Edwin Adler Fleisher (1877-1959) founded the first training orchestra in the United States in 1909 – over a half century before José Antonio Abreu’s famed El Sistema. The Little Symphony Club, as it was first known, was open to both sexes and all races free of charge. Over the next 20 years, Fleisher would spend between $10,000 and $20,000 annually to supply the Symphony Club with music for biweekly rehearsals (including regular sight-reading sessions!) and annual concerts. Having exhausted U.S. publishing agents, Fleisher personally traveled to Europe in 1913, 1925, 1927, 1929, and 1930 to meet with composers and publishers and purchase music to fulfill the group’s needs. A special visa in 1929 permitted him unprecedented access to works in the Soviet Union. In 1929, Fleisher donated his expansive collection to the Free Library of Philadelphia. Valued at $500,000 (nearly $7 million adjusted for inflation), the collection contained complete performance sets (a conductor’s score and a part for each musician) for just over 3,300 works. Between 1934 and 1943, Fleisher co-sponsored a Works Progress Administration Music Copying Project dedicated to creating performance sets from unpublished manuscripts by Pan American composers and doubled the size of the collection. Fleisher personally sponsored Nicolas Slonimsky’s sojourn to Latin America in 1941-42 with $10,000 to secure works from South and Central America.
