Music Word of the Day: Bruce: Before we get to our main subject of the day, Blues, let’s take a look at the music word of the day: Bill/Bruce: Scales! Bill: Mr. Fite, why do you want to talk about weighing yourself on a music podcast? Or did you want to talk about rock climbing? (kind of to self) I can see it now, scaling the face of El Capitan! No ropes, just some powder, and my muscular fingers... Bruce: No, Mr. Henry! Not that kind of scale, a music scale Bill: Oh, right, a music scale Bruce: That’s right. A music scale is kind of like going up or down a set of stairs. It’s a set of notes in a particular order and it has a special sound. I remember when I was younger, as I would go up a set of stairs, I would skip some steps and take some, one at a time. That’s exactly how a music scale works. Bill: Music scales are awesome! Bruce: Listen to this scale. Does it sound happy or sad? Bill: Definitely happy! That’s a major scale. Bruce: How about this one? Bill: That one makes me feel sad (sniff, sniff). It’s a minor scale. Bruce: Now here’s a scale that has a special “feeling down” sound. Bill: That IS different. It’s kind of sad, but, at the same time, it kind of makes me feel better. Bruce: Exactly. That’s what makes a blues scale special. That’s the beauty of scales in music. If a composer wants the music to have a certain feel, they will choose the scale that best fits that feeling. Bill: So there you have it. Music has a very important foundation: Bill/Bruce: Scales! Thank you so much for listening. We hope you are enjoying the show so far.

And now, The Main Subject of the Day: Bill: Hey, Mr. Fite! How ya... doing. Wow, you look sad. Bruce: Hey Mr. Henry. I am sad because it’s raining and I was hoping to go outside and play. I’m feeling blue... Bill: Blue? Maybe you should stop holding your breath. Bruce: No, not the color blue, I’m FEELING blue. When we say we’re feeling blue, it means we feel sad or bummed out about something. Bill: Oh right. Bruce: My playtime got rained-out so you could say I’ve got the rained-out blues. Mr. Hairy Legs: Hey Mr. Henry, hey Mr. Fite! How ya doing? Bill: Oh, I’m fine, but Mr. Fite has the blues. Mr. Hairy Legs: Oh, the flu! Having the flu is NO fun, I had it once. Bill: No, he is BLUE! Mr. Hairy Legs: Oh, blue. Well, he looks more pale and pasty than he does blue, but, I’ll take your word for it. My eyes aren’t really the best these days. Bruce: Mr. Hairy Legs, when we say we are blue or have the blues, we m

So first I just wanted to know what part of the world do you live in? I am in the midwest. I am in Chicago, Illinois currently. We always like to start out by asking our guests about their background with music education as a child. And so what experience did you have as a child, like in maybe in the school setting and possibly outside of the school setting? Yeah, that's a great question. I owe a lot to music. I grew up an EL student. and I wasn’t able to speak English let alone understand academic Standard English fluently until I was about maybe 4 through fifth grade. And for that reason, I struggled in school. I pretended to understand things to avoid embarrassment. There were policies and procedures in the classroom that were hard for me culturally and the cultural assimilation from such an early age really worked against me. And it really you know I struggled academically as well as emotionally and music was the one place in school I felt seen and that I could participate in without feeling ostracized. And like I had to wear a mask to fit in. so I also had the same advantages as my p

Bruce: Before we get to our main focus of the day, Jazz, let's take a look at the music word of the day: Improvisation! Bill: Improvisation is a fancy smancy word for making something up on the spot. Bruce: The word improvisation can be used for a variety of art forms. We can see improvisation in drama and comedy, dance and of course…. Music. Bill: You can improvise when playing jazz, blues, and many other genres. Bruce: In the 1500s through the 1700s there were many performers entertaining people in the streets of Italy. Performers would come up with a basic storyline, but mainly make up the parts during the performance Bill: That’s right they would improvise! A mime is a popular type of street actor and will typically improvise while interacting with the crowd. Bruce: Dancers will also improvise quite a bit. Break dancing is usually completely improvised during a performance. A dancer may have some ideas….. but the order in which they perform the dance moves are improvised. Bill: The tango also relies on improvisation and is encouraged. Many of the moves ARE practiced but, high-level of dancers also use improvisation. Bruce: Ok, onto Music. Music can be improvised in a variety of styles. Let's take a look at jazz. Listen to this sample of a saxophone performing with drums, piano, and bass. The saxophone in this section does not have any music notes to read…he is just making them up! That is improvisation! Bill: Next is the blues: take a listen to the piano player improvising with the 12 bar blues……. Nothing is written down. He is just performing anything he wants! Bruce: In rock music, we often hear the electric guitar taking a solo. Let's take a listen….. At that point, the guitar player is given the opportunity to play whatever he wants. He had to practice a lot to become this good. Bill: Awesome! And that’s the: Together: “Music Word of the Day!” Thank you so much for listening. We hope you are enjoying the show so far.

Bruce: Jazz music typically has a swinging beat…..like this (drums play). That is what gave jazz its unique sound and style. Bill: There are ma

We have a very special guest with us today on The Music Podcast for Kids! Christopher Tin, thanks for being on the show! Glad to be here. Since we are a music podcast for kids, we always like to ask our special guests how they got started with music. Can you tell us how old you were when you got started? Did you take private lessons? And where your musical journey took you through your growing up years? I started music when I was 5. My parents enrolled me in piano lessons, and you know that's kind of like what you did right? Put your kids into music school at that age. I really enjoyed it and I found that as I got older my curiosity with other instruments sort of expanded. So I started playing trumpet maybe in third grade or something like that. I started playing guitar in high school and bass in high school, started singing in high school. And writing music. And all these other things in high school. And it just kind of blossomed form there. So from an early age I was exposed. So you've received many awards including two Grammy Awards which is amazing but I first would like to ask you about the Guinness Book of World Records award that you received. Could you tell us more about

Bruce: That's right, bongos are like a mini version of the conga drums. Congas are big and bongos are small. Bill: Conga drums are used in all types of music but originated in Afro Cuban Music. Bruce: The conga drum became more well known after the popular Conga Line tune and dance came about. Bill: Oh yeah I love the conga line. That's the one where everyone gets in a big line to form a circle to follow some fun three step shuffle. Bruce: That's right, and that's the word of the day Together: Conga!
