Have your eyes ever grown big when you open up a piece of music and see a bunch of eighth notes and sixteenth notes and other beamed notes?  When shorter sounds are written on a page of music, the signs can be intimidating.  One of my younger beginner students is already able to talk about thirty-second notes and sixty-fourth notes, while other students are wondering if such notes exist.  They do.  Tune in to the next CMajor Radio Show to find out the various parts of written signs.  FInd out the way that composers write these signs or notes.  Is there a quicker way to write them in a certain way?  How should we encourage students to write down notes.  Should a group of notes be joined by a beam or should they stand alone with a tail or flag.  If you've ever wondered about such things as this, tune in to the next podcast.  It'll be fun.  "The European musical language passed to America and then spread to many other parts of the world...has become cosmopolitan.  It is also the common language of the Hollywood musical, jazz, rock and pop as well as of the piped music which has become inescapable in shops, offices, factories, hotels and other public places."  See you soon!
