Music Ed

There is a new trend in these independently produced internet videos to make a continual stream of video of someone doing something really freakin’ cool. It seems these days that anyone can edit video, but the stuff that grabs our attention more and more is made up of actual people doing amazing things. One student produced video of the song “Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger” illustrates this point perfectly.

And let’s never forget the ground breaking OK Go video. How could you forget an entire music video shot in one take and choreographed fully on treadmills. Visually appealing and amazing.S

So, what does all of this have to do with Technology in the Music Classroom? Well, it is music presented creatively through the technology vehicle of web videos. Maybe it could be used to inspire kids to do equally innovative things with technology and music. To be honest, though, I mainly posted these videos because I thought they were really cool. Hope you enjoyed them!
