Mangione Revisited

It was so nice to Louis back on campus this week! He is truly gifted as a presenter but the thing I like most about his delivery is that his suggestions are ultimately practical and can be implemented immediately in class. TO the right you will notice a playlist that I created for classroom use. I believe all of these songs fit the criteria that Louis laid down for us:

1. The kids don't know it.
2. Consistent dynamics.
3. Beats per minute somewhere around the same as the heartbeat.

You will notice the the Como "Round and Round" song is first on the list for use in Louis's "maypole" technique. Let me know if you are an expert and think you know some songs that belong on the list.

Remember, Louis said be careful with music during tests or quizzes - use only foreign or instrumental music in this situation.
