The Buddha said, “Better to live one day seeing the rise and fall of things than to live a hundred years without ever seeing the rise and fall of things.”

among these, Berlioz - Roman Carnival Overture
many to watch on you tube. 
Every instrument, from the piano to the guitar to the erhu sounds different. Each has a different tonal colour, or “timbre”, which gives them their own unique characteristic sound. This is how we can naturally tell them apart when listening to music. As you develop as a singer, it is important to listen more analytically to the timbres, and therefore the pitches of different instruments, and how to tune your voice to each of them.

last night, Chronicle Magazine did a piece on Keith Lockhart and the Quarantine. It was great. It showed his innovative touch to all the programming he has brought to the BSO, The POPS, and the community that The Symphony has surrounding the institution and Symphony Hall, one of the great Music Halls of the world for it's sound.















Quarantine sillhouettes.
You can go with the traditional of a Childs head, or family, or get super complicated with added props, there is one with a ladder on Google images that is neat. 





Take a road trip Down Under

Australia’s vast landscape, laid-back attitude, and backpacker culture make it the ideal place to round up some mates, fill the trunk with gear, and head off into the unknown. From the jagged coastal cliffs and jumping kangaroos of the Great Ocean Road, to the red dirt highways connecting Alice Springs and Darwin’s famous sunsets, an Aussie road trip is a rite of passage for any adventurer. If you’re more into wine than wildlife, the stretch from Perth to Margaret River rewards with vineyards and ocean views. Back east, drive the coast from the surf town of Byron Bay to the Whitsundays, where the Great Barrier Reef begins and the white sandy beaches never end. No matter your route, stay on the wrong side of the road and keep calm during koala crossings. -- Julie McNamara 




ACTIVITY
MAKE an Aboriginal Art Dot print with your art things or just a pencil and paper, or draw a map in the dirt for a family member to figure out.




Perhaps the biggest danger lurking in the Australian Outback is its venomous reptilian residents. Several species of venomous snakes like the common death adder, desert death adder, red-naped snake, orange-naped snake, mulga snake, dugite, curl snake, speckled brown snake, and others call the Outback their home. Many of these snakes have venom potent enough to kill an adult human being within minutes. These snakes feed on the small mammals, birds, insects, and other reptilians found in their habitat. The inland taipan, the world’s most dangerous snake in terms of median lethal dose value in mice, is also found in the Outback. It is estimated that a single bite of this snake can kill 100 adult men.

Stomping as you walk along tells a reptile you are coming so they can move away.


Check out Tasmania, another Island to the South and East of Australia's New South Wales Territory.
Here are some of the animals there.
wallaby, Tazmanian devil, echidna, and many others.

SCIENCE/CHEMISTRY


Make your own Bath Bombs. 
bathtub explosion: When the high pH powder reacts with a low pH acid, it produces carbon dioxide bubbles. Remember those baking soda and vinegar volcanoes you made in elementary school? Citric acid takes the place of vinegar in this chemical equation, but it doesn't react with sodium bicarbonate until it gets wet.

Tuesday 6/15 My Background is in Communications, This piece is a beautiful story selling a tough old American Brand. And I relate because at the beginning of Quarantine, I bought a pair of Work pants and hiking shoes and have worn them almost everyday.  They have stains, rips, a bleach spot, paint and my life displayed on them, and the story Jason tells is a beautiful. I didn't really know about Jason until I watched this. https://youtu.be/zL7SobTAnuQ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jason_Momoa This sums up Quarantine in a profound way for me. He embraces life and family. Ohana. This movie is worth the time it takes to watch. American and authentic. You may like this one too.
