IT’S GREAT TO BE A MICHIGAN WOLVERINE!!!

@edutopia Did you know? Participation in the arts leads to increased artistic ability and the rest is fine, but also not really the point?

Did You Know? Participating in visual arts, music, drawing, and theater is linked to clear improvements in: 🧠 Mental focus 📣 Spoken and written language 🧡 Empathy 😌 Executive function and self-control

@ethanhein Probably where the students go?

@Komaniecki_R "Music seems to be a universally present but contested system of floating significance that has some language parallels" is the much better mug/t-shirt

“Music is the universal language” brother we can’t even universally agree on what music is

@mpolikoff The curriculum narrowing piece was real harm, though. Lost instructional minutes at the elem level in music, art, social studies, PE.

This is, as always, a bad idea! @NAfME @NAEA

@Komaniecki_R Your list is amazing--thank you. I'd add Thomas's "Day of the Diesels," which is way better than it should be: youtube.com/watch?v=DvtaFs…

3 Little Pigs by Jools TV Are you kidding me Hear how the big bad wolf is riding that trap beat? Are you guys hearing those polysyllabic rhyme schemes? Jesus christ (3/12)

I teach college music theory, but I'm also a new dad. I decided to combine my professional and personal identities and make a thread of music for babies where the adult musicians went way, way harder than they had to. (1/12)

Bummed that MSBOA Dist. 12 Festival Competitions had a snow day last Friday, but so glad they could pivot on a dime & reschedule for today. Middle School Band was late this afternoon for my clarinetist & now it’s time for HS Band for my percussionist. #MichEd #KeepMusicInSchools

MSU music education alums--we want to celebrate you for Music in Our Schools Month. Post a picture and tag the college of music! #miosm #spartanswillteachmusic @musicmsu

Mostly retweeting so I can remember to show my son, the toad parent, this video later...
