First order of business was determining which will be the last day of class for the Quarter. Considering the schedule for final exams, we decided next week (5 June) will be the last class of the quarter! Theme for the last class will be songs about "goodbye." :-(( Fortunately most of my students are staying in Seattle and going to attend BCC during the summer. So we will see each other!
Still no decision on whether we will continue during summer.
I said that I want to take the students out on a field trip boating on Lake Union to celebrate the end of the quarter. We talked about possible dates.
We actually didn't talk much about music today. I asked my students if Hong Kong is a good place to live and work. We talked about that for quite a while. And we talked about style of life and work in Asia versus in Europe.
Finally we talked a bit about music.
The most important musical event of the past week was, of course, the Eurovision contest, won by Dima Bilan (bio) of Russia with the song "Believing" (video, lyrics)! One of our favorite words in class, "cheesy", was used to describe this performance.We decided to make a theme of "competition winners". The next video/song was "The Time Of My Life" (video of the announcement of the winner) by the recent American Idol winner David Cook (bio).
We watched a "Dancing With The Stars" video but now I can't remember which one... no matter, it was time to end class and we had had fun talking about life today rather than music anyway :-)
Next week, last class! Theme = "Goodbye"
