Episode Description
The Buzz 1: “Music is your own experience, your thoughts, your wisdom. If you don’t live it, it won’t come out of your horn.” (Charlie “Yardbird” Parker, 1920–1955, jazz saxophonist, band leader, composer) The Buzz 2: “Musicians want to be the loud voice for so many quiet hearts.” (Billy Joel, born 1949, musician, singer-songwriter, composer, "Piano Man” ) The Buzz 3: “People ask me how I make music. I tell them I just step into it. It’s like stepping into a river and joining the flow. Every moment in the river has its song.” (Michael Jackson, 1958–2009, singer, songwriter, dancer, “King of Pop”, the most awarded music artist in history) The Buzz 4: “I’ve always said music should make you laugh, make you cry or make you think.” (Kenny Rogers, 1938–2020, singer-songwriter, musician, actor, record producer) The Buzz 5: “Music kept me off the streets and out of trouble and gave me something that was mine that no one could take away from me.” (Eddie Van Halen, 1955–2020, musician, songwriter, one of the all-time greatest guitar players in rock history) We’ll ask musicians and music educators Serge Hoffmann, Dr. George Viney, Rebecca Armstrong and Jessica Baron for their insights on The Future of Music Education, Musicians and Technology.
