Congrats to the Detroit Tigers on making it to the ALCS! I like to think that our 2nd Bryant Tigers helped them to win by sending them good vibes in music class today :) We had a baseball themed class, complete with "Take Me Out to the Ball Game," and acting out the different parts of a baseball game to Johannes Brahm's "Hungarian Dance No. 5." For this activity, we talked about how the form of a piece is like a kind of a musical roadmap. This was a great connection to humanities, because in Social Studies, the students are learning about maps (what they are, how to read them, and the different parts of the map). It was fun to talk about how we can use different types of maps in music to help us to follow along with a piece of music, or to better understand what they are hearing.
Check out this video of the piece played by the Berlin Philharmonic!
