Don Henley, Pavarotti and More
Trivia can be (a) fun; (b) informative; (c) downright enlightening.
Answer – All of the above.
So let’s get straight to it. First, some fun. Before we moved out to the Blue Ridge Mountains, life in Los Angeles was anything but boring. For example…
Q – Who was only musician to perform during Don Henley’s lavish outdoor Malibu wedding ceremony. (a) Sting; (b) Tony Bennett; (c) Bruce Springsteen; (d) Billy Joel; (e) Clayton Haslop; (f) the Chieftains.
A – You guessed right. My husband, violinist Clayton Haslop, performed a movement from Beethoven’s Violin Concerto with the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra.
I distinctly remember this beautiful outdoor ceremony. Hey, Jack Nicholson was sitting behind me, and I’ve still got goosebumps just thinking about it. BTW, the other musicians I mentioned all performed in various huge tents way into the night. Helicopters aside, it was great fun.
Q - In Krakow, Poland, will you find the Paul McCartney: (a) High School; (b) Middle School; or (c) Kindergarten.
A - At the Paul McCartney Kindergarten, children learn English through Paul’s songs.
When melody and rhythm are joined with rhyme, this powerful punch transforms learning into fun and games. At any age, this is a fantastically easy way to retain new information.
Q - Did the guitar get its name: (a) in ancient Rome; (b) in ancient Greece; or (c) in ancient Tennessee.
A - Guitar probably comes from the word kithara which was the most popular musical instrument in ancient Greece.
Q - Before achieving success as a singer, was Luciano Pavarotti: (a) a chef; (b) a teacher; or (c) a librarian?
A - An elementary school teacher.
Q – Background music that’s played to enhance memory and learning must be (a) 90 beats a minute; (b) 60 beats a minute; (c) 120 beats a minute.
A – 60-beat music puts the conscious and subconscious mind in touch with each other and makes it ideal for increased learning. The slow beat relaxes you by lowering your blood pressure and your heartbeat.
Last Question – Which period had the most 60-beat a minute music, (a) Rennaissance; (b) Romantic; (c) Baroque.
A – Baroque music. Music of our time is catching up though. Composers like myself are benefiting from all the support science is throwing our way.
It’s why you shouldn’t wait a day longer to order your copy of The Secret Power of Words and Music 5 CD package. Specifically created to slow you down while your mind and body wake up. And playing now all over the world. Go read what all the hoopla’s about.
Warm Regards,
