This is a clip of The Star Spangled Banner as performed by Boyz II Men. This isn't an "official" Everything Creative episode; I just needed to put this clip on the Internet somewhere in order for my blog (http://choraldirector.blogspot.com/) to find it, as I have a posting about this clip.

Boyz II Men

This is one of Miss Clemmer's Spanish classes singing songs they have learned, and in some cases written, in order to learn Spanish concepts.

Here's a hymn I arranged for my brother, sister-in-law, my wife, and me to sing for my mom.

Once again Canaan "Krazy" Smith has delivered to us a track to enjoy. Give it a listen!

Thanks for sticking with us through our episode gap. This episode features Corey Brock with new music he wrote with Kyle's lyrics. Enjoy!

Once again...Corey Brock!

Canaan Smith is getting into techno music through loops on a piece of Windows software he uses. Here is a piece of his. Enjoy!

Krazy's Techno

These projects were done in 30 minutes by my music history students. They were to pick a children's song or nursery rhyme and compose music to it...all in a small amount of time. Their music instruction is quite limited...the high school they attend is on traditional block scheduling, and they have no training whatsoever in music in the grades of 6, 7, or 8...not even an option in their school after 5th grade. However, such limitations have NOT held these students back from making music!

Music History Group Projects

These three sophomores have had very little to no music instruction, and yet here they are in a jam session with a djembe, cabasa, and a wood block having a great time!

Shelley sits down with me at the mic and we talk a little about Everything Creative: how it's done, why podcast, and how it benefits students.

Kalie's Melody

Hannah and Sylvia have gone to Africa the past two summers, and in this episode they show their pictures while talking about their trip. The travel was not only experiential and entertaining for the sisters; it was also quite rewarding, including a nursery school set up for the Tanzanian children in honor of their visit.

Janet's Poem

Laura has graciously given us more of her work. This episode features her playing "Suicide." (No...there are no suicidal subliminal messages or any tomfoolery as that.)

Laura Carson and her guitar

These are school projects, or personal projects from students at a small high school.
