Hi dear pple,
Just thought of an idea for our class blog: What do you gals & guys think of having any one of us post ONE music video (that you enjoy) for the class, every week?
We could call this our little weekend ritual, or something along those lines.
Thought of this, 'cos quite a number of us enjoy music, and (I'm rather proud of this fact) that we have, in our midst, people who are mature enough to be open to the music (or cultures, like ideas) of others around us, too. :)
Even, good music from the
yesteryears or earlier ages or genres of music should be fine. :D
Of course, as always, some standards for us to abide by:
1. No offensive words (lyrics, subtitles, titles)
2. No offensive actions/ gestures/ clothes (in the videos)
Yep, that's about it. Do consider this. Otherwise, we could just post one music video up as and when anyone of us prefers. I'll get it started, this time, yea? ;)

World Dance by Yanni & his awesome orchestra: Proof that instrumental music can be Great FUN, too! ;)
So, Qn for the week:
Tell me ONE thing YOU found interesting in this music video?
*BONUS* Qn:
*1e3, WHY do you think I'm sharing this particular video with us all?
Just some stuff to share with you peeps...
Like how you guys have heard of Enya (i find her music ok), I was introduced to Yanni's music in my secondary school music lessons. He used to be known as a 'New Age' artiste at that time, although now he prefers the label "contemporary instrumental." (His music's changed a bit now: I hear he's added voices to his music, that used to be purely instrumental.)
I still remember my music teacher telling us that Yanni himself was a good pianist, but his strength lay in choosing the best orchestra (for each instrument) in putting together a majestic composition. :D
Take care, all of you, and have a good & restful weekend break.
With best wishes, Ms B*
p.s. And yes, do give your comments on the 2 qns above, yes? Would love to know how U peeps found this video. ;)
