I'll be presenting at ISME in Montreal during the very first K-12 Symposium as part of the conference. Who's with me? Would love to be able to meet some folks there.

I was caught in the wild at @omeaontario chatting about big ideas and having great conversation.
I did survive and came out unscathed.
Discuss:
Music theory is best understood as the art of description; not a set of rules for composing.

Added some new posters to the room.

Jesse Welles should be taught in music classrooms.

I've been trying to write twice a week and bring the old blog days back. Would love if you checked it out and subscribed #musedchat #musiced brandtschneider.substack.com @shareski.ca @jdmilton8604.bsky.social @condensedscore.sounded.us @clehmann.bsky.social @karlachips.bsky.social
We tried playing some of our concert music without the sheets.
Their ears are often much better than what we give them credit for.

Use "quantization" to line up your human-made MIDI track automatically to the beat in your DAW.
Select different beat subdivisions to see what unique rhythms are generated.

Tale as old as time:
"It just happened while we were playing!"
"It" being all the valve guides magically rotated into the wrong spots on the baritone valves.

Is it even Festival Season if you're not questioning your programming and thinking of subbing out a piece? #musedchat
SO grateful for a weekend at the Michigan Music Conference. I love these days of learning and reconnecting and it was great repping our Michigan #WBDI chapter! #musedchat
If you teach elementary music, what curriculum resource do you use and why do you or don't you love it? We currently use Quaver and it's not everyone's favorite. We are planning on choosing something else. #elmusedchat #musedchat #elmused
Anyone else noticing composers/publishers under-grading new pieces? Experience helps me pick music appropriate for my groups, but I could see this causing younger me a lot of problems selecting lit. #musedchat
Repost to fix YouTube link:

Today a kid called pick up notes "drop offs" and I've been smiling at the word association mix up all day. 😁 #musedchat
Good to meet you last night, @stevesmusicroom.bsky.social - best of luck on the presentation today!

"I used to think concerts were scary and we weren't ready, but now i think when we practice and work hard they're really cool."
(summarization of multiple "used to think/now I think" after our beginning band concert)

I'm here in Rochester for NYSSMA. Where are my people?
Let me know if you're here! ✋🏻

I love beginning band concerts. Got to attend my first as a parent yesterday and conduct my...17th(?) tonight. Nothing like the excitement of Beginners. 💜 #musedchat
Something to be said for heterogenous beginning band classes that are too small rather than too large. With fewer kids for back up, they're afraid to make sounds and it can really slow individual and group progress. #musedchat
I asked ChatGPT to generate a drawing from this prompt:
"based on what you know about me, draw a picture of what you think my current life looks like."
I don't hate it. 😆😉

Working on finishing my 1st original piece for #concertband - started in about 2008 & shelved. Inspired by a harrowing adventure w/ my family over the Sawtooth Mountains of northern #Idaho when I was about 12. #musedchat

Hey, #musedchat! Who else jumped ship from The Bad Place for a fresh start over here? Let's get the band back together!
@jguarr.bsky.social well hello Joe - good to see you here .. always enjoyed #musedchat w you - what are you up to these days? @irasocol.bsky.social
In search of some music for HS students to analyze - specifically to become familiar with the different types of seventh chords. Thinking Autumn Leaves, but am in search of a variety of genres/style.
Any recommendations, @ethanhein.bsky.social?
