Friday Find: Jacob Collier
Today’s Friday Find was shared with us by Lisa Besman from West Hartford, CT. I have to admit, I’ve seen some videos with people singing layered vocals with themselves, but none have ever been this impressive. He plays all of the instruments too! There is so much to listen to. It really is captivating! Check out “Fascinating Rhythm,” composed by George Gershwin and arranged/performed by Jacob Collier.

Friday Find: Guerrilla Handbell Strikeforce
Okay – so it is February, I’ll admit this one is a bit late this year, but highly appropriate. Don’t you think that the Salvation would raise so much more money if they trained their ringers with a slightly higher quality bell?
Friday Find Guerrilla Handbell Strikeforce
I personally love how after they are done the Salvation Army worker just stands there for a few seconds before he goes back to ringing his bell.

Friday Find: Conduct Us!
Every wonder what would happen if you just allowed anyone to conduct a chamber ensemble? Well that is what Improv Everywhere wondered, and here were the results.
Friday Find - Improve Everywhere Conduct Us
Imagine what this would like like in a world imagined by Kodaly Educators? Not only would each person walking down the street be able to successfully conduct the group with artistry and poise, they might also be able to relieve some of the players as well so that they could get a coffee break.
Hat’s off to the folks of Improv Everywhere for giving some culture back to the world!

Friday Find: Call Me Bottles?
This Friday Find comes to us from KESNE Vice President Keira Brown.
When is popular music appropriate for the classroom? Well, sometimes popular music can be really well done, just because it is popular doesn’t mean it is bad. Sometimes it also makes sense to bring it into the classroom to show how inspired musicians can turn any song into something interesting and impressive.
