Led this one at Camp Calumet this morning for church. I love this tune, and love that it doesn't talk down to its audience. Sings equally well for 2nd graders and 70 year olds. I want to write stuff like this!

Transcription of Jacob Collier's Flintstones by Conrad Godfrey PIANO REDUCTION WITH CHORDS http://goo.gl/jZIlfq I think there are bound to be some errors in ...

Man... This blows my mind.  I don’t care if this stuff is auto-tuned or hyper-edited, just these arrangement ideas themselves are amazing.

We should read music in the same way that an educated adult will read a book: in silence, but imagining the sound.

My 3rd & 4th graders are doing a curriculum that starts with mi-re-do this year. We were already doing ‘Chatter with The Angels’ and segueing into 'Good News’ for our upcoming concert, when I stumbled on this great video of the tune. AND the first section is in G, the same key they are singing and playing recorders in. I also love these cube-y videos that kind of guide the students in knowing what to listen for. Lots of great discussion about this in class today!
