I just found out, thanks to Justin Davidson, about the 5th year anniversary of the WNYC radio program Soundcheck. Congratulations are definitely due to John Schaefer (the host) and the Soundcheck crew, for an excellent radio show. I have Soundcheck to thank for inspiring several general music lessons I taught and can think of countless excerpts of episodes that could generate interesting discussions in a music class. No worries if you don’t live within the broadcasting range of WNYC, the program is streamed online and I highly recommend you listen to a couple of episodes and consider subscribing to the Soundcheck podcast. The next episode you listen to just might end up being the impetus for a great lesson and memorable moment for your students.
