Description

There are dozens of musical genres to enjoy and choosing a limit for this one to music that amuses still wasn’t easy. Find here the joy of playing an instrument badly (Jack Benny, The Really Terrible Orchestra), playing unusual instruments (The Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain, The Vegetable Orchestra of Vienna) maligned instruments (accordion) and using your voice as an instrument (Bobby McFerrin, whistlers, barbershop quartets and other acapella groups, yodelers, and auctioneers).

This slide show also offers 7 word games from mondegreens to quirky country music titles, reminiscing exercises on the music you grew up with and musical stars of the 1940s and 50s, an imaginative exercise on being a rock star, plus funny quotes, complaint choirs, and a sampling of how to use a biography of a musical star like Dolly Parton to delight.

If this one doesn’t make you want to sing, you are beyond help!
