The students learned the whole song by ear. I would play a verse of the melody on piano and they would figure out what notes. This is one teaching technique I like to use to introduce students to ear training. By not using sheet music to learn the song, they are also challenging their memory skills. While this is a popular folk song across many cultures, it is still far from easy to perform on trumpet. There is an octave interval in the 3rd verse, which is a challenge even to more advanced trumpet players; even those in college!! Enjoy the performance of your kids playing Happy Birthday (Which they learned only in 20 minutes!!!!

 Not So Different Age Range: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 Duration: 20 min, 15 sec In this video, entitled "NOT SO DIFFERENT", we compare a song from a musical with an opera aria. Using two pieces that have similar themes, in this case, wishing you could get out of your present situation and leave, we compare "Out There" from the Disney musical film "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" and "Ain't it a Pretty Night" from the American 20th century opera, "Susannah" by Carlisle Floyd. Though one piece is sung by a male and the other, a female, both speak of the yearning to see the world. Also, we hear how both pieces build in intensity, though one has a gradual build to the end and the other has several builds that return to stillness and the aria ends in stillness. By comparing these pieces, I aim to show how not so different musical theater and opera can be. |  Oliver Twist Age Range: Duration: 51:25 Oliver Twist!
