We have a few updates for you this week from Musical Wonders. Hope your school year is starting strong!
1) UK vs USA Notation | Musical Wonders Broadcast
It’s “Crotchet” VS “quarter-note” this week. Guest host Chris Ricketts (UK teacher, performer, and sea-shanty singer) joins us for a playful showdown of British vs. American music terms.
2) Portland, OR Area Creative Music-Making Workshop (Free for Teachers)
We’re coming to the Portland area for a full-day, hands-on workshop focused on songwriting, improvisation, arranging, and rehearsal strategies you can plug in on Monday. Every attending teacher receives a Pianica + a music-creation bundle. Limited seats so register today!
3) “What Is Modern Band?” Printable Handout
Need a clear, one-pager for parents/admin or back-to-school night? This handout explains the Modern Band approach (instrumentation, repertoire, student voice/choice). Print, post, and share.
If these were helpful, hit subscribe, forward to a colleague, or reply with what you want to see next week.
When students are given the freedom to create, everybody benefits. 🎶
