CORONA
​Radio DJs

Weiner GT
Radio Network

Over the past two years, students have met many composers/musicians, from contemporary to classical. Students selected a composer/musician that may not be commonly known to most students and many adults, choosing a piece of music that is representative of that master and that they enjoy. Students researched "their" composer/musician and created a "disk jockey" introduction for their "listening audience."  ENJOY!

IT WILL TAKE A BIT FOR AUDIOS TO LOAD --be patient please

THE LESSON

You have listened to many musicians and composers in assembly this past two years. Some you might have already heard of --some were composers you NEVER heard of. We are going to create a continuous listening channel of Assembly Composer music that people probably have never listened to --stay away from people like Elvis, Dollie, etc.. This music channel will be shared on Facebook and on School/GT website and other places. Here is how it works.

1. Leonard Bernstein's "Young People's Concerts" always began with him telling a story about the composer. The story wasn't boring stuff like when he was born and died and all that boring stuff. It was a story that got people's attention! WATCH THIS YOUTUBE video of Bernstein introducing Beethoven. He is like a musical D.J.

2. Listen to Miss Hesse's Disk Jockey Introduction to Ella Fitzgerald. 

3. Follow directions on the INSTRUCTION SHEET!   CAREFULLY....CAREFULLY....CAREFULLY....CAREFULLY.....CAREFULLY.....
YOU HAVE A WEEK TO DO THIS PROJECT.
ONE COMPOSER/ ONE STORY/ ONE PIECE OF MUSIC
GT RADIO DISK JOCKEYS!    Directions - READ CAREFULLY  

1. Select three musicians that probably most people have never heard of, and that you’d like to introduce to the listening audience! Send your choices to [email protected]    Miss Hesse will let you KNOW who your musician is.

2. After finding out WHO your musician is, select a piece of music by that musician to share on our radio station.  Send the name of the music you chose to my email. 

3. Research your musician/ composer until you find a STORY about them that you can tell. I told the one about Ella Fitzgerald entering a talent contest at 16, hoping to be a famous dancer because it is interesting.

4. Write a “script” for your D.J. session. (THIS YOU WILL HAND IN TO GOOGLE CLASSROOM USING THE PROVIDED DOCUMENT!!!!!! YOU MAY NOT START RECORDING UNTIL YOUR SCRIPT IS APPROVED!)   Your script should be arranged like this:

   A. Tell your first name and ask a question to get the listener interested --listen to mine!  Don’t tell the name of the musician or composer YET.   (MAKE YOURSELF SOUND “COOL”  - have fun with it.  You’ve heard people talk on the radio before!!!! Don’t be stuffy!!!!!!)

   B. Tell the STORY --now you can use your person’s name (be a good storyteller --use expression! You are a disk jockey!) 

   C. Tell them the name of the piece by your musician/composer that you have chosen for them to hear. Tell why you chose it.
-------------------------------------------------

AFTER PRACTICING

1. Record yourself.  (Your Disk Jockey recording should be NO longer than 
2 minutes!)

2. Listen to yourself on the recording. Do you sound relaxed and “COOL”? --you can have fun with this!  

3. Do it over and over until you get one that sounds good and sound professional.  You can record yourself on a phone or on a device.  EMAIL me your Disk Jockey recording. 

4.  I will add your chosen music (that you emailed me the name of), along with everyone elses’!  Voila!  We have a radio station to share!

***You have TWO attached documents to HAND IN, according to the directions I have shared with you in the video.

YOU DO NOT CREATE YOUR OWN DOCUMENT OR MAIL ME A DOCUMENT!!!!  All you email is the name of the composer/musician and the song you chose after finding out who you have.
