A Musical Library-"Heads will Roll"
Theme Thursday is "Library" and I can't tell you how funny it is to stand on a piano bench and have all these faces staring up at me! These are some of the people in my music library. When I use these books with my students we call them the Talking Head books. Many publishers use head shots as covers. As I look at this picture after I've taken it, I chose a lot of dead white guys. Oops, sorry, Clara. That's not all I teach though, it's just that the contemporary pedagogical covers use "kid-friendly" art, comic book or Holiday Inn landscapes.
I get to go to a seminar the next few days-I'll tell you all about it when I can!

Great post - I like the musical contribution to the theme :-)
ReplyDeleteA great take on the theme, something other than books.
ReplyDeleteMusical libraries; a nice change. L would like this.
ReplyDeleteI agree with the others - I like the change. But yes, those sure are a lot of dead old white guys! ;)
ReplyDeleteDo they have any ABBA?
ReplyDeleteI'm enjoying your posts. I grew up playing piano, played for church in my early twenties. I don't have a piano now, just a keyboard, and I miss that. Love all the dead guys - well their music of course!
ReplyDeleteI have gone through most of the Library Themes and I think you are the only one who had a Music Library. Unless you count our CD libraries.
ReplyDeleteGreat job.
Nice, mixing it up going with the music library! Talking Heads...funny!
