In an ongoing series, I’ll be sharing two or three of the clever music videos I come across each week. Enjoy!
Blue Man Group: Pipes
In this video, the Blue Man Group demonstrates how tubes of different length create different pitches. Useful when discussing how brass and woodwind instruments work.

Vi Hart: Pachelbel’s Music Box Canon
The brilliant Vi Hart allows us to visually see the structure of Pachelbel’s Canon in D when played by music boxes. Three music boxes play the same strip of paper in sequence to create the canon, while the basso continuo is played by a fourth music box playing a loop (literally!).

Blue Men with pipes and Canon done by Music boxes were both fantastic!!! Can’t wait to show it to my classes! Doing Middle school Class music as well as everything else a Music teacher does. So good to have fun, quality clips to show making music enjoyable for everyone!
Thank you and keep them coming please!!
Thanks Anta – I’m hoping to put some more up soon. I have rather backlog of videos to share! – Katie
