MTT turns teacher
My old sometimes friend Michael Tilson Thomas, has turned into a little old Professor in addition to his role as Music Director for the (lucky) San Francisco Symphony. He has taken on a unique way of educating listeners that Robert Winter and Russell Steinberg utilized some years back with CD-ROMS, but now on the internet.
I encourage you to spend a little time with MTT and have some music education, courtesy of the SF Symphony. Here is a lesson that features the gay rabbi of American composers, Aaron Copland. There are two lessons about Beethoven’s Eroica Symphony and Stravinsky if you want more. Good job Michael!

This is FANTASTIC. Thanks for posting it. I’ll use this with my music appreciation students this year.
