Back in the Saddle...and Fab Friday 1/13/12

Couple of things...
8th Graders are beginning their unit on careers in music, with the first stop being multimedia music. With the network at school experiencing problems due to NWEA testing, we were unable to get into some of the sites that will help shed some light on this area. Here are the links to some sites that are relevant, including the production company representing the composer featured in the week's listening log.

-The blog entry that discusses the ideas, jobs, and "how-to" of the music in gaming market.

-Position, Inc.-the middle man company that carries some very talented artists and composers
www.positionmusic.com
-Home page of composer James Dooley. He wrote "Sanctus", the piece we listened to this week.

And finally...the video clip we viewed for Fab Friday this week. Truly a viral video when it's had over 16 million hits within a week! (sorry 'bout the italics; can't seem to get rid of it!!)
