"RICOLA" MISS G SAW AND HEARD THE ALPENHORN"


This is Miss G from Little House of Music and it was the coolest thing to see and hear an Alpenhorn. I was at a track meet where my daughter-in-law Catherine was running in Orlando and Ricola throat drops were there to sponsor the track meet. They are certainly huge, I never dreamed one would be that long.
Alphorn or Alpenhorn is a brass instrument, consisting of a natural wooden horn of conical bore, with a cup shaped mouthpiece used by mountain dwellers in Switzerland and elsewhere. similar horns were used in most moutainous Europe, from Sweden to the Romanian.
The archaeological record stretches back some two thousand years in the Celtic tribes. The Alphorn or Alpenhorn sounded as apart of the daily actives of the shepherds and cowherd of the mountain people.
I'd love to have one but where in the world would I keep it. It's a little long for my music room, although they do have smaller ones but I'd want the longest one!
It's a very interesting instrument. Hope you have enjoyed!
Stay turned!

"MISS G'S FAVORITE SONG FROM LITTLE HOUSE OF MUSIC LEVEL ONE"




"I'M A STAR"
Written by: Maggie McGuinness and Miss G, (Georgia Germond)

Here I stand, a song away from being a star
Not a hair out of place, a smile on my face
I know every verse, I sing and rehearse
I've waited so long, to sing you my song

Butterflies, excitement in my eyes
Everything is all set for a time I won't forget
The song is my own, the stage is my home
It's my special time, I'm ready to shine

Music fills the air
Magic's everywhere
The show is opening
Now it's my turn to sing

The light's on me, like I always dreamed it would be
Standing here before a crowd, feeling oh, so proud
This never has to end, I can always pretend
Wherever I may be, whatever song's inside of me
All I need is a Melody, and I'm a Star
I'm a Star

I just wish you could see and hear the little ones that take Little House of Music from me play act this song. It is precious!

To order this CD call: 1-888-GFEDCBA or 888-433-3222
Enjoy, Miss G Little House of Music

"HOW TO WRITE A SONG BY MISS G AT LITTLE HOUSE OF MUSIC"




This is Miss G from Little House of Music and I'm going to give you four notes in the right hand and four notes in the left hand for you to write your own composition! These are the same notes I gave to my students when we did our "Two Octaves of Kids" CD that was on the Grammy ballot. It's very easy and simple: Here Goes!

Right Hand Notes: C D Eflat G
Left Hand Notes: C Bflat Aflat and G
Do not ever play these notes in this order. Pick three notes in the right hand, any three notes, mix them up and pick two notes, any two notes in the left hand.
Now play the three notes in the right hand that you picked. Beautiful aren't they? Now add a left hand note in the bass clef with the three notes in the right hand. Even more beautiful isn't it?
Play the notes in the right hand an octave higher, now add the second note you picked in the left hand. Your impressed with yourself aren't you?
Keep switching the notes around, pick different notes, you can put the right hand notes in the left hand and the left hand notes in the right hand and it will always sound wonderful.
With this combination of notes you could sit for one month and keep writing new compositions. There are thousands of different combinations for these few notes. Actually you only have six notes because the C and G are in both hands. Six notes and you can write your own composition. I'd just love to hear what you all come up with. You are going to be very surprised. It's so much fun to write a song. Get busy and write your first composition. I give these same notes to all my students and I wish you could hear what the five year old's come up with, their songs are beautiful and wonderful songs.
Good Luck and Have Fun! If you have a question for Miss G call her at:
