It's August, and school is right around the corner - and you know what that means...<br /><br />Music Lessons.<br /><br />We're all anticipating seeing some familiar and soon-to-be familiar faces. Come visit our <a href="http://www.brooklynmusicteachers.com/">home page</a> and contact your previous or new teacher now to start scheduling lessons for fall. We expect to be quite busy this semester and the best times go to those who get there first!<br /><br />-Braden<br /><br />P.S. We teach adults, too! Come one, come all... bring the whole family!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/677576186365561744-2677289170191979176?l=brooklynmusicteachers.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Braden Palmerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00721730864512017736noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-677576186365561744.post-34743603094850065552009-06-27T17:04:00.000-07:002009-06-27T17:13:16.156-07:00The New York Times reported on June 25 that several flutes dating back over 35,000 years have been found in or around the Hohle Fels Cave in the hills west of Ulm in southwestern Germany.  There are two made from mammoth ivory, one from the wing bone of a mute swan and the most recently discovered, from a bone from a griffin vulture.  This instrument has five holes, is about eight and a half inches long and has a V-shaped blow hole that looks similar to the Andes end-blown flutes often seen played around Times Square.  A wooden replica of one of the ivory flutes was made, tried out and found to be "quite harmonic."  Sounds as though the caves of southwestern Germany were alive with music 35,000 years ago.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/677576186365561744-3474360309485006555?l=brooklynmusicteachers.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>mhydehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14986875309257175457noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-677576186365561744.post-37675869397221919622009-06-14T18:34:00.000-07:002009-06-14T18:38:40.679-07:00It's June.  The plants and blossoms are bursting forth. the birds are singing with all their might, especially that crazy mockingbird in my neighborhood.  It is a good time to plant some new seeds.  We hope you will join us in planting and nurturing musical seeds.  We hope to grow some great musical events and we also hope to grow a new musical community.  Welcome aboard!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/677576186365561744-3767586939722191962?l=brooklynmusicteachers.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>mhydehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14986875309257175457noreply@blogger.com1
