Thought this was cute. Also a great way of showing students why learning scales is important to music. Enjoy!

Any way to forward your wonderful ‘Good News! (In a scale)’ directly Mr. Fair without going through FaceBook and also while giving you and your fantastic site full credit? Thanks.

  You could probably just save the link from the page (right click and select “copy url”, that should work) or maybe use this one. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rNDtHdG5mVk I claim no credit for the original video, I just thought it was great and wanted to share it!
  
  Also, it’s Mrs. 😉

  Hmm, I am not sure that my previous suggestions will work… try searching for Mike Raneses or IgniterMedia.com

  I’m glad you enjoyed this! Most of the books that I’ve used that incorporate “Joy to the World” do so around the scale, which is pretty neat to see how they work together to share good news. 🙂
