Music 101 - Thursday

[wyld-stallyn.livejournal.com]

Dudes! Babes! Dudes and babes!

I MAY have had a little too much sugar this morning. Have you dudes, like, ever tried to eat Twinkies through your nose? *twitches uncontrollably for a moment, then returns to normal* Ever tried to do six of them in a row? Yeah, uh, I do NOT recommend trying it.

At least not during class. *empties bucket of junk food onto King Arthur's Round Table for the student-dudes to eat*

I hope you all had a most excellent Homecoming. I don't remember most any of it, but I've been told it was a totally outrageous party! OH. And if any of you dudes want backstage passes to a Wyld Stallyns' concert, leave me a voicemail and a Twinkie and you've got it dudes. And babes. Anything for my most triumphant students!

So. Class stuff. I don't feel so good today, because of the sugar and the headbanging and spending most of the morning trying to balance a guitar on my nose, so I'm gonna hand the class over to Professor Ludwig van Beethoven! All the way from.. uh.. where are you from again, dude?

Beethoven: *can't hear Ted, so looks around the room absently until he spots a keyboard. Beethoven perks up, hurries over and starts playing some most excellent classical music.*

Yeah! Listen to Professor Beethoven. If you need to ask him a question, wave at him or throw something soft at him. Hard stuff hurts, dudes. Talk about classical stuff and why it's cool!

Don't forget to sign the attendance sheet for yourself and for your slacker friends who didn't show up. That's what friends are for.

Homework: For next week, research music videos. I know the school gets VH1 and other music-type channels. But don't bother with MTV. MTV sucks now dudes. Watch some music videos and come ready to talk about anything that catches your eye!

Paige walks in, she's a total mess, it's looks like she's been crying all night (which she has) and could start again at any moment, when Beethoven starts to play she does start to cry again and puts her head on the desk shaking

Classical music's cool because it manages to evoke mood, setting, and vivid imagery through instruments alone. Some melodies become part of our everyday life. There's no need for screeching or overly sappy lyrics. Just the instruments and sheet music.

"Buuuut...if you eat a twinkie through your nose, how do you chew it?"

Rose wanders into class and listens to the music. "That is quite a lovely sound."

What I enjoy about Classical Music is the wide range of emotions it expresses. Due to the this, the psychological effect of music on the human mind is fascinating to watch.

Lily is daydreaming too much too be properly shocked by the presence of Beethoven. She enjoys the music, wishing her piano skills were that advanced.

"NO, I HAVE NEVER TRIED TO EAT TWINKIES THROUGH MY NOSE," Xander lies. Loudly. "I hear it hurts like a bitch. Especially the orange-filled Halloween ones. Something in that dye stings like a motherfu- uh. That is, that's what they say."

Barbossa closed his eyes, listened and smiled. Not exactly sea chanties, mind, but definitely something he could get used to.

Not that he didn't find Metallica most excellent, too.

Sonia hears Beethoven's music from down the hall, and hurries the rest of the way towards class, wondering who could be playing. She stops dead in her tracks in the door, and wanders half-dazed towards the piano, where she stands in awe listening to Ludwig's music.

She almost forgets herself, lost in the music, but quickly regains her thoughts enough to find a seat and take a few notes from Ted's lecture, though her eyes never leave the piano.
