If an instrument rests in the hallway and there is no one around, does it make music?

If you remember from the Check Check 1,2,3 post, different online meetings have different audio tests (obvs).
Here is the one for Webex, which I started using this week during an Apple Learning Coach meeting.

Have you joined an online meeting? If you have (and who hasn’t?) you may have noticed the “speaker test” option in the settings.
Here are the sounds you will hear for popular programs. #hauntingmelody
What other speaker tests have you heard?

I presented a workshop entitled “Smart-Art,” which is about ways to use the Smart Board (or other interactive white board) for art instruction of special education students. I put special focus on teaching autistic students, as well as students that were confined to wheelchairs and/or couldn’t hold a pencil or brush.
View and download the Agenda.

I found one more school piano. It was painted and sitting in the lobby of a school. An homage to shellfish?

Two excellent instruments in the computer lab: xylophone and autoharp (referred to by its manufacturer as a “chromaharp”)
Here is a view of the mallots (hammers?). Wrapped in yarn?!
And here is the label. It is made in France.
The autoharps is very cool too. From the outside, it looks like a I-don’t-know-what.
From the inside, it starts to look interesting….,
And when it is out of the case, it is best.
The documentation has instructions on how to tune the instrument, as well as a sampling of songs to learn and play.

Two random sightings in one day.
#1 Stuyvesant High School cafeteria
This sounded bad.
#2 Woodhull Street, Brooklyn
The one on the street sounded real nice.
