Terrific Thursday Link #4

Sorry, I just noticed that there was no fun link last week. Life is really chaotic around here. I'd give you the list but that would take too long. And frankly, one spinning head is enough in this world. Let's just say that I, like my colleagues are eagerly awaiting the end of June (23 sleeps).

Here, check out this link - Music Tech Teacher - Piano Key Words Quiz. Yes, it's another note naming site and yes, it's deliberate. Teachers get cranky when students are still struggling with note names after a year (or more) of lessons. They also get cranky when students refuse to fix rhythm and notes in songs they've had all year and when they refuse to read directions or insist on pounding the bejeebers out of the keys. But let's save that rant for another day, shall we? (c) 2006 by Musespeak(tm), Calgary, AB, Canada. All rights reserved.

Friday Fun Link #26

Hi all, This week's fun link is theory related (a tribute to all theory students writing exams this weekend). It's Something's Fishy About These Scales. Enjoy!

Friday Fun Link #23

Whoops! I nearly forgot to post today's Friday Fun Link. What can I say? I got carried away with errands and housecleaning (a true sign that I'm getting older). Although I did take a detour to McNally Robinson today and heard an accordionist play at the cafe. She played wonderfully. We had a good chat afterwards. Did you know that there are over 100 accordion schools in Europe? Today's fun link comes from the Dallas Symphony's DSO Kids website. There are several games on the site. Enjoy!

PS: On another note, I'm another step closer to solving the Site Feed issue. It was a two-fold problem, 1 - typing up blog entries in Word, copying and pasting into a blog is a no-no. I deleted between 4 and 48 extraneous codes per blog entry because Word added code that was incompatible; and 2 - Blogger uses Atom 0.3 and apparently 1.0 is the standard; which means more code needs to be adjusted. It's a slow ongoing process, at least until Blogger upgrades to 1.0. Stay tuned!

Off to practice now. I'm playing at a wedding tomorrow and need to pad the beginning of Canon in D to make sure that the bride's entrance is timed perfectly with the climax of the song.
