Absolutely consonant with these standards, transcription (and a more practical application). The upshot: the standards are incredibly flexible, open, and they evolve. Today, DAW β€œkeyboard” skills hold the same weight as the formerly exclusive β€œclass piano.” Progress. Great threads! Happy Holidays!

Which sentences in the image below do you sense constrain such an approach? Many NASM institutions have long implemented versions of what you propose.

RIP the unstoppable force that was Eddie Palmieri. An academy of music, a combustion engine. Take five minutes out of your human experience to sit with this performance, and consider how many elements are in thrilling convergence.

This is Lola. She is one of the most skilled soccer dribblers we've ever seen, so it makes sense that she's already capturing footage for her documentary. 14/10

A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die.

Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.

Equity Arc, which trains young musicians of color, was set to play with the US Marine Band β€” until Trump's anti-DEI order canceled the show.

But Chicago stepped up, and now the students will perform at @chicagosymphony.bsky.social on 4/6. Grab a free ticket and join me in cheering them on. cso.org

This is the best of what I learned in school bands, that everyone belongs. That we all play our part.

These musicians and educators, these students, semper fidelis.

This chart titled "The world has passed 'peak child'" shows the historical and projected population of three age groups: young people under 25 years, young people under 15 years, and children under 5 years. Data spans from 1950 to 2100, based on UN estimates and projections.

The blue line represents the population under 25 years, showing steady growth until around 2050 when it starts to slightly decline.
The red line represents those under 15 years, peaking around 2020, and then gradually declining after that point.
The green line shows children under 5 years, which has largely plateaued since the 1990s and is projected to decrease over time.
The chart indicates that the global number of children has reached its peak, and a long-term decline in younger populations is expected.

For my string educator friends, a list of Asian American String Orchestra Works!

About 100 works listed here so far and note that I didn't list the humongous catalogue of Soon Hee Newbold! Y'all should already know about her anyway, right? πŸ˜„

Jimmy Carter hosted a concert featuring some of the greatest jazz musicians in June 1978. The list is astonishing.

President Carter was America’s most musical president. Musicians got him elected as Governor & later upped his image during his 1st presidential campaign. Wendell Whalum & the immortal Morehouse Glee Club. Robert Shaw & the ASO & Chorus. Willie (when weed was illegal), Cecil Wilson. Carter got it.

Early Black Musicians, Composers, and Music Scholars (505-1505 CE) While musing about how exclusion of Blacks is built into music academia as a colonial driven knowledge system, I (as usual) posted those thoughts to a twitter thread It was obviously not my first. …

Black musicians, composers, music scholars predated the Renaissance and, not surprisingly, existed outside of the Western world. Let’s stop pretending composition, musicology, and music theory only existed in Europe.
