Probably should have known better considering this is a forum filled with musicians (to be totally honest I might not have been entirely sober while I wrote that either)Īnd yes out of all the gear I acquired that year, I was definitely least gassy about the digitone, which turned out almost exactly the other way around once I got it. Didn’t mean to downplay the pull/hold that that class of compounds can exert on a person. And even though opiates, also to my younger self’s surprise, never really had any substantial/meaningful pull on me since they never really did/fixed/relieved anything for me personally, not even in the temporary sense of the word, I do have a frame of reference for what you’re communicating. When class ended and it was time to line up to leave, Madison had one final instruction for her students: Salsa your way to your place in line.Yeah, It was indeed as you say a matter of speech. “My favorite part was playing the clave!” said student Seamus O’Hara.ĭuring a sing-along of “Tres Pajaritos,” or “Three Little Birds,” Madison posed a question to the students: “When we sing in Spanish and we make the bird sound, do we say ‘tweet, tweet, tweet’?” She was met with a loud chorus of “no” and students instead shouting “pipa pipa ria!” If salsa dancing doesn’t pan out, there may be a few successful future drummers among this group of students. The students then got to practice creating a clave rhythm to the song “Vivir Mi Vida” by Marc Anthony. When teaching the students to hold the clave the correct way, Madison had them pretend they were holding a hotdog and putting ketchup on it.
SPEECH BUG SQUISH HOW TO
The students learned how to play the clave, a percussion instrument consisting of a pair of short, wooden sticks that are struck together to make a specific beat: long, long, long, short, short. The lesson was also infused with songs featuring Spanish lyrics, rhythms and, of course, musical instruments. “My favorite part was when we got to do this,” echoed student Xabier Salvador while demonstrating squishing a bug with his toe. Madison, she’s the best music teacher in the world!” “I liked the lesson, but it was kind of hard to squish the bug,” said student Ashlyn Conniff. They salsa-stepped to the front and the sides while reciting “squish that bug,” over and over. Madison taught the students how to move their feet in the correct salsa steps by having them imagine that they were squishing a bug with their toes. So, how do you dance salsa? Squish that bug, of course!
