Grade 1 groups will love playing this creative, programmatic original written in the classical style. Depicting a trip on an airplane, making smooth transitions between thematic sections -- leaving the gate, taking off, in the air, snack time, turbulence, cruising altitude, descent, landing -- and following a conductor on a long accelerando and ritard are essential for best performance results. Duration 2:25. Available in SmartMusic.

Right from the outset until the very end, the speed, energy and drive of the tuneful music is palpable. Its abundantly clear why the title Seatbelts Fastened! was chosen: just like an airplane, this music takes off and neither tempo nor intensity are lost throughout the flight. Descending and ascending scales characterise the most important thematic material and the music explores a variety of different registers through Van der Roost utilising a great deal of different tonalities and metres. Please keep your seatbelts fastened and enjoy the flight!

Click here to download the 2020 Supplement to First Steps in Music. Over the past year, a committee formed by the Feierabend Association for Music Education (FAME) developed a set of standards for evaluating repertoire associated with the curriculum. With their guidance, we have removed several songs that were deemed to be harmful, derogatory, or disrespectful in regard to their histories or context. We have also added a number of new songs and rhymes from a variety of world cultures. The above link details these revisions for the curriculum book and the supplemental folk song collections.   The great American folk songs and rhymes on this CD have enthralled young people for generations. This recording embodies the true spirit of these songs, delightfully sung by Jill Trinka and accompanied by a wide variety of acoustic instruments, including guitar, dulcimer, autoharp, piano, percussion, string bass, and violin. The enclosed illustrated booklet includes complete lyrics and song directions. And all of the performances are in step with John M. Feierabend’s philosophy of providing a nurturing environment for musical growth. Children and their families are sure to enjoy this and the other imaginative and engaging CDs drawn from John’s eight collections of folk songs for kids ages three and up.

Right from the outset until the very end, the speed, energy and “drive” of the tuneful music is palpable. It’s abundantly clear why the title “Seatbelts Fastened!” was chosen: just like an airplane, this music takes off and neither tempo nor intensity are lost throughout the flight. Descending and ascending scales characterise the most important thematic material and the music explores a variety of different registers through Van der Roost utilising a great deal of different tonalities and metres. Please keep your seatbelts fastened and enjoy the flight!

Van het allereerste begin tot het eind zijn de vaart, de energie en de ‘drive’ in dit welluidende werk zonneklaar. Het wordt zonder meer duidelijk waarom voor Seatbelts Fastened! is gekozen: net als een vliegtuig gaat de muziek van start en verliest ze gedurende de vlucht niet aan tempo of intensiteit. Het belangrijkste thematische materiaal wordt gekenmerkt door dalende en stijgende toonladders, waarmee de muziek verschillende registers verkent: hiervoor gebruikt Van der Roost diverse tonaliteiten en maatsoorten. Dus riemen vast en geniet van de vlucht!

Von Anfang an bis zum Ende ist die Geschwindigkeit, Energie und der Antrieb“ des melodischen Werkes spürbar. Es wird deutlich, warum der Titel Seatbelts Fastened!” (Bitte anschnallen“) gewählt wurde: Wie bei einem Flugzeug hebt diese Musik ab, und während des Fluges gehen weder das Tempo noch die Intensität verloren. Absteigende und aufsteigende Tonleitern zeichnen das wichtigste thematische Material aus. Die Musik erkundet unterschiedliche Register, für die Jan Van der Roost verschiedene Ton- und Taktarten verwendet. Bitte schnallen Sie sich an und genießen Sie den Flug!

Du début jusqu’ la fin, la rapidité, l’énergie et l’élan de cette musique mélodieuse sont palpables. On comprend clairement le choix de son titre : « Attachez vos ceintures ! » Tout comme un avion, la musique décolle et son vol ne perd jamais en vitesse ou en intensité. Le principal matériel thématique se distingue par des gammes descendantes et ascendantes, Van der Roost explorant différents registres par le biais d’une variété de tonalités et de métriques. Veuillez attacher vos ceintures, et bon voyage !

Unsung Pioneer. Composed by Cheryl Frazes Hill. Music Education. GIA Publications #10563. Published by GIA Publications (GI.G-10563).

ISBN 9781622775996.

Conductor, chorus director, airplane pilot, educator, activist, mentor, and advocate Margaret Hillis blazed a trail upon which many continue to tread. The first woman to regularly conduct a major symphony orchestra, she was the founder of the Chicago Symphony Chorus and served for thirty-seven years as its first director, winning nine Grammy Awards. She was also a flight instructor for the U.S. Navy during World War II, an influential member of the National Endowment for the Arts, and built a reputation for her meticulous score preparation and innovative methods of refining choruses into superb ensembles. She earned the respect of the world’s major conductors along with the admiration and affection of many musicians, colleagues, and music lovers. But as compelling as what Margaret Hillis achieved is how she deftly circumvented the constant barriers in fields where women were not welcome. Further complicating her career aspirations, Margaret Hillis was a lesbian woman in an era when such an identity would have certainly ended her career. In Margaret Hillis: Unsung Pioneer, author Cheryl Frazes Hill—a longtime colleague and associate—examines how Hillis was able to overcome the many challenges she faced, navigating a career in ways relatable not only to musicians but also to women in all professions. Margaret Hillis’s story is one of resilience, determination, and passion for music. Her journey is an inspiration, a portrait of what it takes to succeed at the highest level in any field. Dr. Cheryl Frazes Hill is the Conductor of the Milwaukee Symphony Chorus and the Associate Conductor of the Chicago Symphony Chorus (CSC). Beginning as a member of the CSC in 1976, Margaret Hillis appointed Frazes Hill to the CSC conducting staff in 1987. Frazes Hill has served as professor of music at Roosevelt University’s Chicago College of Performing Arts since 2002. A frequent guest conductor, Frazes Hill is a published writer for national education and choral journals on topics of her research in music education and choral conducting. She is married to Dr. Gary Hill, and they have two children, Carlyn and Mitchell.   We are living in an age when strong women are accomplishing amazing things—and this is the story of a woman who succeeded in the male world of orchestral conducting and established the award-winning Chicago Symphony Chorus. Her life consisted of challenges continually met and conquered, and her relentless drive for excellence in her profession. Cheryl Frazes Hill gives us a carefully researched, balanced, and well-written account of her eventful life and achievements. —Alice Parker     Renowned conductor, composer, and longtime friend of Margaret Hillis Cheryl Frazes Hill was in a unique position to observe the career of Margaret Hillis because she was close to her on a personal and professional level. What is particularly gratifying about this biography is that it is clearly the work of someone who admires Margaret Hillis’s accomplishments, but at the same time Frazes Hill has retained a balanced objectivity about her subject. I came away from reading this with a greatly increased knowledge about Margaret Hillis, along with a deep appreciation for what she accomplished as a true pioneer. —Henry Fogel     Former President, Chicago Symphony Orchestra, League of American Orchestras     Dean Emeritus, Chicago College of Performing Arts, Roosevelt University.
