In an effort to grab my students attention and get them excited to do music I spend a lot of time researching songs and scanning through lists recommended by blog posts. Then I get amped because I…Continue

Last week, on our visit to UCSF, we delivered 5 singing telegrams with our own adaptations of “Beat It” by Michael Jackson, “Mr. Sandman” by the Chordettes, and “We are the Champions” by Queen. The themes throughout the songs were of ‘thank-you’s’, and ‘feel better’, and were directed towards hospital staff, patients and their family members. They were received with big smiles and even 1 encore! My sense that day was that the singing telegram was similar to receiving an unexpected personal…

This past Friday I had prepared to host the 1st ever "Fandango on the Blacktop" during lunch time at Think College Now and International Community School out here in Oakland. I announced to the students that my friends were coming to perform for them (MusicianCorps Fellows from the Bay Area!) and that they would have a chance to play along with us and get some treats. The main purpose of this was to get students from both schools to interact through son jarocho. These schools really only share… Continue

To the students in After School College Prep aka the "Professionals":

Today I was really impressed with you. When we were about to start our first music activity there were some students who raised their hand saying, "I don't know how to do it." So when I asked for a volunteer to help some of the other students, more than 4 hands went up. This brought a… Continue

Today I had a lot of fun with the "pandero" (tambourine) and a room full of 1st & 2nd grade boys. It was one of those days where everyone was in tune with each other. Communication was clear and so the progress was inspiring. I had them practice one technique in particular where they had to rub their thumb on the flat part of the pandero and the vibration would make the bells ring. One student in particular tried and couldn't do it so right away he said in a disappointed voice, "man, I… Continue
