2015 July Holidays

Here's some interesting activities and videos I've discovered during the holidays.
Keep checking this post, as I will add more over the holidays as I find interesting sites.

Here's a hauntingly beautiful violin / piano duet of Hallelujah - originally written by Leonard Cohen and covered many times by many other artists.  This violin is played by Rob Landes  and the piano is played by Aubry Pitcher.

Here's some very unusual instruments sounding like an electric guitar and a bass guitar. 

This boy is only three years old, but he loves conducting and has obviously practised this a lot. He is conducting the fourth movement of Beethoven's Fifth Symphony.

Have a bit of fun with these singing horses. You can click each horse on or off to change when they start or finish singing.


Here's a compilation of animal videos with backing music to suit their actions.

Click on this link to  play a fun game where you have to tap any key to maintain a drum beat rhythm over   a few seconds, then you get a score out of 1000 for your accuracy.

Follow this link to be able to pretend that you are playing Mozart, Beethoven and many other famous classical pianists.  Just touch the screen if you are using a screen-touchable device, otherwise, just use  any keys on the keyboard to play the music to a graphic of the notes being played.  It may take a while to work it out and to find all the options, but it's a lot of fun and you can almost start to feel as if you are a classical pianist.

And here's the chicken dance - literally!
