Congratulations to our Music Department for an outstanding concert this weekend. We raised $1680 for the American Red Cross. That makes almost $12,000 since we began this event in 2014! @RedCross

This is an excellent thread that explains how the music industry works.

Here's how Michael Jackson ended up owning the entire Beatles catalog:

Before we begin, it helps to understand the business of music.

With music, every song has two sides to it: the master and composition (publishing).

Typically, Record Labels own the master while the songwriter(s) and/or their Music Publishing Company owns the publishing.

Hey choir kiddos,

Did you know that the human voice evolved from fish over 400 million years ago? Or that our emotions affect our voice? Check out this episode of my favorite podcast to learn more! ~MR🎶

Journalist @JohnColapinto blew out his voice singing too loud and too long in a rock band. The good news is that it inspired him to find out what happened.

Auditioning for a choir as a soprano: "Prepare two solos (one classical, one contemporary), pass the sight-reading test, translate a Norse fable, demonstrate ability to drive manual transmission"

Auditioning for a choir as a bass: "You can sing a low D? Welcome, section leader"

The WHS Choral Department has some really amazing students who would love to see their bio written by #dionnewarwick

[Dionne Warwick @dionnewarwick]

Teaching is hard. Sometimes you just need to buy yourself a half dozen donuts and eat three in one sitting. 🍩 🤷🏼‍♀️

Of course, the student musicians at WHS love to make music for the sheer joy of it but the benefits of music-making are an important part of teaching the brain how to learn and make connections.

Here's a great example of how making music has helped someone with a brain injury.

[Gabrielle Giffords @GabbyGiffords]

Not many people know that I play the French horn. I hadn’t played since I was child. But after I was shot, I started speech therapy, physical therapy, and music therapy. Relearning an instrument has been a huge part of my recovery, and I’m getting stronger every day.
