Discover more of Dave’s Music at http There is now a video response: www.youtube.com Full Story: www.davecarrollmusic.com – In the spring of 2008, Sons of Maxwell were traveling to Nebraska for a one-week tour and my Taylor guitar was witnessed being thrown by United Airlines baggage handlers in Chicago. I discovered later that the 00 guitar was severely damaged. They didnt deny the experience occurred but for nine months the various people I communicated with put the responsibility for dealing with the damage on everyone other than themselves and finally said they would do nothing to compensate me for my loss. So I promised the last person to finally say no to compensation (Ms. Irlweg) that I would write and produce three songs about my experience with United Airlines and make videos for each to be viewed online by anyone in the world. United: Song 1 is the first of those songs. United: Song 2 has been written and video production is underway. United: Song 3 is coming. I promise. Follow me at twitter.com .

Most music teachers consider teaching music to their dear students both their profession and passion. Most of them have the heart for arts and music – making each student love learning music and music as a whole. With this kind of outlook and disposition in teaching music, the inspired and motivated music teacher tends to begin his search for consistent improvement in his teaching strategies as well as his effort for personal and professional growth.

Indeed, there is a wide variety of creative music teachers resources that students can certainly enjoy and get excited working on with. According to studies, the integration of audio and video recording in music education has been an effective technique to catch the attention and grab the interest of the learners. This is believed to be an effective tool in raising the level of interest and motivation among music learners.

Current practice in music teaching favors a practical and a hands-on approach in emphasizing performance and composition. The use of recorded music as a teaching resource has tended to take a back seat. However, recordings are the predominant vehicle of musical experience today. As the students are expert listeners to recorded sound, major developments in the access to and presentation of recorded music are opening up new educational possibilities to most of them.

Targeted to be implemented in most music classrooms, the production and engineering aspects of recorded sound to online music libraries and teachers’ experiences of using recordings in the classroom have been randomly practiced and taken into consideration.

When a classroom setting has a relaxed atmosphere, informal learning may take place yet anxiety, tension and pressure would neither rule the learning situation. Hence, when there is relaxed supervision with no teachers behind the desk, the students would be more eager and interested to learn music. Students may also work in groups – giving them more chances of friendship and peer support. In this case, cooperative learning is found effective. The music teacher may encourage the students choose various musical instruments of their choice and eventually master such.

After they finish recording, they may organize or set-up a short play or a mini-concert to show their rendition of songs and other performances. These activities can heighten the learning process as they get too excited in meeting their objectives and getting high grades. These can also help them boost enough self-confidence and self-esteem. Through these music teachers’ resources, the music teacher tends to meet most of his objectives all at the same time.

These creative techniques in music education intend to motivate the learners from different ages and with different lifestyles. So start your quest to amazingly creative music teachers resources now. Be inspired to share your knowledge as well as the joys of music to your students. Make them realize that learning music is fun so they have to do it all by heart. Happy teaching!

Track-by-track: Quiet Company–Songs For Staying In EP

28 May

by Nina Chantanapumma

Maybe it’s due to the circles I run in around Denton, but has anyone noticed how serious the music seems to be here? Don’t get me wrong, there’s nothing that can be compared to a band that has mastered their craft of honest, heart-jerking lyrics and careful instrumentation so well that it leaves me breathless and in awe. But music doesn’t always have to break your heart, folks. It doesn’t have to drag your soul through the darkness at 60 bpm. It can remind you that love is a beautiful thing, something worth celebrating, and a great reason to sing. Enter the newest release from Austin-based Quiet Company, Songs For Staying In. Described as “a 27-minute celebration of love and … sex,” this should be a quick and fun track-by-track review.

1. “How Do You Do It?”
I listened to this track as I was walking to work one early morning, dragging and moping. This song managed to put a kick in my step within a few minutes. The fanfare chorus will remain joyfully stuck in your head for a good while. And how can you not smile at the line, “Oh, you never leave my head, so let’s never leave the bed”?

2. “Things You Already Know”
Another upbeat pop gem, a promise to a lover. Or, rather, the lover. I think what I love about this song is that it seems like a perfectly good wedding vow, a song you’d sing in front of all your loved ones as you say your “I do”s until the last verse: So when the sun goes down and the lights go off, well, you and I will frame up the scene to be completely pornographic because life is always better when you’re fairly obscene, and I’m gonna love you ’til I die.

3. “Hold My Head Above the Water”
In case you do need a bit of seriousness, this track should deliver. A duet between lead singer, Taylor Muse, and his wife, Leah, this tune consists of a few simple lines, simple instrumentation and, in turn, reflects the idea that love can be simple and intimate.

4. “Jezebel”
It was a questionable choice to include this breakup song amidst a collection of sugary sweet love songs, but I think it works. Although he proclaims his dismay throughout the song, the break of “come back to me” is an interesting twist. Also interesting? The second name of this song: “A Song About My Friend And That Whore He Dated”. You can’t say this band doesn’t have a sense of humor.

5. “If You Want” – Not as catchy as the others but hey, slow dance time!

6. “The Biblical Sense of the Word” – The album ends with one last slow dance, one last fanfare. “We make our lives worth living when we love each other” could not be more truthful and once the last piano chord fades out, you really can’t help but smile and feel loved yourself.

Ironically, Songs For Staying In is an album worthy for going out, popping in your car stereo and blasting as summer rolls into town. It might even make you want to hug someone.

Be sure to catch Quiet Company for their CD release, at Hailey’s this Saturday, with Holy Fiction, Goldilocks and the Rock and Curvette. Doors are at 9 p.m. and tickets are $6 for those over 21 or $9 for those under 21.
