Monday’s Music Quote, Joseph Pisano: “Talent is not something that an individual is born with- it’s something that is painstakingly developed over time”
The Morning Music News Follows Directly, Standby:
“Feeling” Interpreters: Well-thought post by Travis J. Weller: “This week I began researching interpretation and feeling as part of my work at Kent State. At first glance, they seemed unrelated. However, the more I began reading perspectives of different composers and conductors, my conclusion is that great interpretation does not just recreate the composer’s intent but rather conveys feelings that the composer intended.”
Judging Royalty -The True Heartbeat Of The Local Miss America Contestants: An article by Dr. Joseph Pisano that relates his experience looking at the the character, soul, and talent as a judge of a number of local Miss America Pageants. “Very unlike the Hollywood stereo-typical view of pageant contestants, these fine young women were unabashedly honest and truly seeking to better themselves and their communities. Everyone of these pageant contestants, title-holder or not, will go on to positively impact their spheres of influence -they already have. Their self-confidence, sacrifice, style, service, success, and scholarship is self-evident after meeting them. They all have the hearts of lions and the souls of champions.”
Pitch Development: Exercising Your “inner ear Ear”: Thomas J. West writes a very informative article: “I can’t carry a tune in a bucket” is a common expression of those who consider themselves unmusical. Having a “tin ear” is another common description. It is certainly true that individuals possess varying levels of aptitude in regards to their musical intelligence, however, just like mathematic or linguistic intelligence, every person can take their aptitude level as a starting point and work to build stronger skills in that area.”
Naxos Is Proud to Announce Its Affiliation With The SupportMusic Coalition: “Naxos (www.naxos.com) has become the first record label to join The SupportMusic Coalition (www.supportmusic.com), a public service initiative undertaken by NAMM, the trade association for the global musical instruments and products industry, and MENC, the National Association for Music Education. ”
British Public Backs Music Education (UK): “Ninety-one per cent of adults in Britain want children to have the opportunity to learn a musical instrument at school, according to research from the Incorporated Society of Musicians.”
