Two More from the Kaossilator Orkestra
April 16, 2008 04:51 AM PDT
This podcast contains two recordings that I made yesterday with the Kaossilator Orkestra at the Franklin Avenue Middle School in Franklin Lakes, NJ. The structure of the first piece is based on Morse Code. After giving the students a drum loop, they spelled words using the Kaossilator. This is the third time we have rehearsed together as a group and I am finding that having a system like Morse Code (giving the students a tactile direction) is more successful than some of the other pieces that I have written out for them. The second piece is based on Braille. We chose the word "Rainbow" because there were 7 students yesterday. Each student was assigned a letter from the word and then given direction on how to create each letter using Braille. I was very pleased with the results as the pieces are more controlled than some of the ones we tried in earlier rehearsals. The concept of the Kaossilator Orkestra is becoming clearer as we move forward. Personally, I am thrilled by the possibilities for this type of group in the school setting. Kaossilator Orkestra
March 19, 2008 06:48 AM PDT
This is a recording of the first rehearsal of the Kaossilator Orkestra. It features students from the Franklin Avenue Middle School in Franklin Lakes, NJ. The group is made of 8 Kaossilators and 2 miniKPs. I am encouraged by their first effort and I look forward to working with them in April.
February 03, 2008 10:28 AM PST
This is a composition that I created using the new Kaossilator from Korg. I hooked it up through the stereo RCA output of the Kaossilator into a "Real Instrument" track in GarageBand. You play the Kaossilator with your finger by running it over an X Y axis type interface. I love it because it will allow ANYONE to make music.

I was looking through my PodOmatic email account today and found a really cool request from a teacher named Carolyn Castellano who teaches music in Brookline, MA. She created a podcast on her site: http://creativehighschoolmusic.podomatic.com/ asking me a few questions. I was thrilled to have a podcast created just asking me my opinions about music technology in the classroom.

This is a presentation that I made today with my 8th Grade General Music Students using a fantastic application called ProfCast. This application allows you to import PowerPoint or Keynote presentations and record your voice and the slide changes into an enhanced MP3 that allows students to see the slides and hear your voice simultaneously. For under $30 it is money well spent - especially when dealing with different learning styles. Yankee Doodle Remix
March 22, 2007 06:01 AM PDT
This is my new podcast from my 6th Grade General Music students. They were given the Yankee Doodle melody as a MIDI file and they were able to orchestrate the melody with loops form GarageBand. It was their first time utilizing loops, an I wanted to give them a "fun" activity that also tied in Music from American History. I hope you enjoy their creations - they had fun making them. TI:ME State Chapter Podcast

This is a podcast that I have created for the Technology Institute for Music Educators. I am the State Chapter Committee Chair of TI:ME and this podcast is meant to provide TI:ME members with information on forming a State Chapter of TI:ME. Penny Broadsides MP4
March 09, 2007 06:02 AM PST
My 6th Grade General Music students learn about Penny Broadsides, colonial songs about politics and current events set to familiar tunes of the day. As their assessment, I have students create lyrics about colonial life and record themselves singing their lyrics over the familiar tune Twinkle, Twinkle. It's an example of how to extend a lesson to include performance and technology.

This song was recorded using GarageBand a few years ago. I teach the Blues in my 6th Grade General Music class, and the project that assign requires students to write blues lyrics and record them over the Shufflin' Blues demo song that comes with GarageBand. I've had many students record their songs over the years, but this one remains my favorite: The Detention Blues, sung by 6th grader (now 9th grader) Nathaniel Clark.

This recording was made using the Blue Mic Snowball USB microphone and GarageBand 3.0. I positioned the microphone about 10 feet in front of the band on a boom stand, and the microphone was set to "Omnidirectional". Let me know what you think of it. Composer Podcasts MP1

This is a podcast that I made with my 8th Grade General Music students at the Franklin Avenue Middle School in Franklin Lakes, NJ. For this project my students were assigned a composer and a number of questions about their life and work. The result is a collection of 10 radio shows about the composers. It was a good first effort. I'll be posting more recent podcasts in the near future. Folk Music Podcasts MP1
