So a FB friend of mine created a status, that according to FB, was about a Musician/Band that has a page on FB. Other friends too were starting to post status updates about the same band. Which of course leads me to focus on the band because I have never heard of them before and I value their opinions. So, to make a long blog entry short...
It appears that a FB page can get more attention if people use ordinary words in their status updates.
Just because two ordinary words in their status updates ALMOST matched the name of the band, their posts get threaded and associated with something they never had any intention of mentioning or associating with.
(Sault Ste. Marie, ON
January 16, 2011) Sault College is introducing music programming for
Winter 2012. Courses are being offered through the School of Continuing
Education.
For those new to the
music scene, Adam King will offer an introductory course in Acoustic
Guitar. “This is a ‘learn to play’ opportunity,” states King. “The focus
will be on learning the basic chords and patterns
and upon completion of the 10-week course; students will be playing
some of today’s most popular songs.”
Band without Audition,
another course being offered, is a unique opportunity for musicians who
have the basic ability to play an instrument. Students will participate
in group practice, playing the instrument of
their choice, guitar (bass and electric), keyboard or percussion.
During the 16 workshop-style sessions, students will have the
opportunity to develop playing expertise as well as learn about the
music industry. The first 2 hours of each session will be
dedicated to group practice led by an instructor as well as studying
the “business of bands.” Each evening will end with the entire group
participating in a jam session.
Leading the band course
is Mike Case, a well- known musician and music instructor in the
community. Case is also a member of the Northern Ontario Country Music
Hall of Fame and founder of Case Music and the Case
All Stars. A slate of up to 4 musicians will be on hand to work with
students in their various instrumental groups. There is the potential
for one or more bands to evolve from the class that could then be
involved in college activities on campus.
“We are gauging interest
at this point, and seeing whether development of a full-time applied
popular music program will be in the works for the future,” states Colin
Kirkwood, Dean of Natural Environment, Business
and Technology at Sault College. “We’re expecting to have a preliminary
advisory meeting before the end of February to explore the
possibilities.” The advisory committee will be drawn from a wide variety
of people with expertise in the music industry to serve
as resources to guide the possible program.
Introduction to Acoustic
Guitar begins January 26. Cost is $199.11. Band without Audition runs
January 31 through March 22, on two evenings per week from 6:00 pm to
9:00 pm at a cost of $841.53. To register or
find out more about these courses, please call Sault College at
705.759.6700 (option 3).
