A nice shout out from the good folks at Indaba Music
No school for the last three days here in Seattle due to a snow storm! A chance to relax, drink more than one cup of coffee and a receive a nice surprise in an email from Indaba Music:
My students have finished uploading their submissions to the Yo-Yo Ma collaboration contest at Indaba Music. After I posted my student projects, I posted the following on the discussion board for the contest:
Hello Indaba Music Community! If you are wondering about the recent submissions with profile pics similar to mine at left, these are students of mine who have entered the contest. Each student in my middle school piano class created an original composition for submission to this wonderful contest. I hope you will comment on their work. Many thanks to Mr. Ma, Indaba Music and all the entrants for creating an incredible 21st century learning opportunity!
So look for the icons below at Indaba Music and hear what my kids have created. You have 10 days left to enter the contest yourself.

What a fabulous opportunity for your students! Good luck with it and let us know how it turns out.
