"I don't have a favorite song, but my favorite album of Beatles music is the Canadian Brass "All You Need is Love" album. It is some spectacular brass playing!" -Shanti Simon "I think my favorite is Fixing a Hole, I think it's fun! Some runners up would be Eleanor Rigby and Blackbird." -Mikey Maiorana "I would say either "Hey Jude" or "Let It Be". But they have so many good ones to choose from! Update: No, wait, I lied! It's definitely "Here Comes the Sun". Update #2: I asked some of the monks in my monastery about the Beatles, and it turns out that many of them still remember when they became popular. They all talk about their premiere on the Ed Sullivan show as the start of Beatle-mania in the U.S." -Br. Jacob Berns
"Yes! Here's a video of one of the songs The Beatles played on their rooftop concert on January 30, 1969. This was an impromptu concert at Apple Corps, their recording company, in London. They played for 42 minutes until the police arrived due to noise complaints. It was their final public performance." "Normally, yes. The pedals on an organ usually have the lowest-sounding pipes. What's really cool is that when you add these low notes to a chord, it helps unify the sounds of the chord for a fuller, richer sound. (For more information, you will want to read up on Pythagoras and overtones.)" -Br. Jacob Berns |
About the Question BoardThe Question Board is a whiteboard in the music classroom and/or an online form on which students can write any music-related questions they have. They can be questions that are unrelated to what we're doing in class, questions that I student prefers to ask anonymously, or questions for our house leaders. Follow this page to see the intriguing and wide variety of questions that students are asking! Archives
