Artifact Explained -
This artifact is another example of me bring a pop culture song into the band classroom. The students really enjoyed this. Rather than a rock tune like I did in artifact #3, I brought in an Indie Rock tune called Fix You by Coldplay which was a major hit for the students who listen to that, which are many. I was able to take the Fix You Function Choral (Composed by Dr. Alex Wimmer, Assistant Band Director at Kansas State University) and apply the techniques in it directly to piece. We have used this choral several times throughout the unit on the piece Dusk by Steven Bryant.
