Video of the Week #1
After seeing a lot of interesting music videos being pinned on Pinterest, I decided that this year I would institute a music-related "Video of the Week" (V.O.W). Warning: These videos will be solely for enjoyment and appreciation. They will not explicitly meet any curriculum expectations.
So, each week I will share a V.O.W. in hopes that it will inspire my students and help them to see that music is everywhere and that music is, of course, totally awesome!
V.O.W #1 - Beatboxing Flute - "Peter and the Wolf"
(There is an advertisement at the beginning of this video. Before class I just let the ad play out and paused it at the beginning of the actual video).
This week, the Grade 7s will be choosing instruments. I chose to start with this video on purpose. First of all, it features the flute (my original instrument). It stars a male on the flute, which I'm hoping will attract more boys to this instrument. And finally, this flutist is just impressive!
I have encouraged my students to share any cool music videos with me and if anyone else has video ideas, please let me know!

I think you should inspire them by doing a live performance of yourself beatboxing while playing the flute! Even better would be to play the flute with your nose and sing at the same time.
