An Arts Journal blogs first: two AJ bloggers will be appearing on WNYC’s Soundcheck with John Schaefer to discuss an issue that’s been bouncing back and forth between their blogs over the past two weeks. Namely, Doug Ramsey, proprietor of Rifftides, and I will be appearing during the 2:00P.M. – 3:00P.M. hour. We’ll be John’s guests as we add some input on the whole “to clap or not to clap” issue.
How can I hear the show?
You can listen to the show on the radio if you live in the NYC area on FM93.9 or AM820.
You can listen live via audio stream (windows 20k or MP3 32k96k).
If you’re not free you can download a digital copy of the show at their archives, they usually have it up the same evening (efficient, aren’t they?).
Followed up by another post at Rifftides including a personal response from bill Kirchner, the man responsible for prompting Doug to start the discussion).
This is such a great conversation. I’m definitely going to be putting some of these questions and perspectives to my general music students to hear what they have to say about it both in terms of them going to concerts outside of school and their performing in the classroom. Depending on how the dialogue goes I may have to adjust the way I’ve approached the topic in the past and broaden it. After all, the music education of future potential audiences is taking place in classrooms everyday. Unfortunately with schools cutting music programs across the country these issues are in risk of only being addressed at concerts. It could be very interesting to hear more youth perspectives on the same issues that the cross blogging has been addressing. Thanks for keeping the refreshing conversation going.
