Music is in the air Music is just what one needs to sooth the savage soul, as the old saying claims. Coming up on Wednesday, March 10, beginning at 7:30 p.m. is a Community Concert to be held at the State Theatre featuring California Gui- tar Trio. This whirlwind of instrument styles fuses classical rock, blues, jazz, and world music, as well as progressive, quintes- sential California music, genre surf music with a sly sense of humor added. How fortunate that Red Bluff has hosted Community Care Concert for so many years. Each time a concert is hosted, pleasant experiences wander through my mind. I recall a dynam- ic learning experience at Chico State College a number of years back. I had the privilege of being one of a group of elementary school educators who spent two to three weeks in the college auditorium and various music rooms learning the positive effects of instruction of Carl Orff music for children. Orff instruction is based on the Penta- tonic scale which is a five note scale separated by whole steps. C Penta- tonic would include the pitches CDEGA. It is the most common scale because it is easily used with the Orff instruments. I have observed that young chil- dren even below elemen- tary school age respond positively to Orff's ideal music. His unique approach to music educa- tion is defined as the ideal music for children. Orff's music is presented as never alone, but connected with movement dance, and speech—not to be just listened to, meaning only in active participation. He believed that children learned and enjoyed music based on levels that included speech/chants, movement, singing, drama and by playing pitched and unhitched instruments. Music used in classrooms is based on the children's own her- itage with a combination of folk and composed music. Classrooms in the US are multicultural. Orff philosophy embraces the folk music of all cultures. Children learn to read the music, they learn the rhythms, and they learn the names of instruments. Basically they learn by doing. Orff explains it best, "Tell me, I forget…show me, I remem- ber…Involve me, I understand." Children are encouraged toward creativity using natural responses to music. Rhythm is the first basic ele- ment because it is the most basic of all the elements. For the child, speaking, singing, music and move- ment are all naturally connected. This leads to body rhythm patterns and movement to the music. Melody is taught in the same way. The last element of music is impro- visation. It is freeing for those chil- dren learning basic music. The teacher sets up boundaries in which the child can create his or her own rhythm, melody, or dance. With a C Pentatonic the child is enables to improvise without hitting a "wrong" note. The student has 8 beats to create his/her song. Having seen this method a number of years ago I am now more cognitive in understanding the very important impact of music on each of us and especially the children. Alright, I will have to confess that I have had a hectic week and I am greatly in need of brain inspir- ing body moving to the mellowing beat of a musical instrument. I have listened to music of the mind, soul and body through out the composi- tion of this column. I am smiling again, tapping my toes and I feel almost virtuous in having brought the musical acumen of Carl Orff (1895-1982) to attention of commu- nity column readers. The sun is showing its spring face and I am restored to a better nature of mind. See you at the con- cert on the 10th of March.

Senior Menu Carolyn Barber Although most calen- dars fail to acknowledge Arbor Day, which is Sun- day, March 7, the Red Bluff Garden Club and Tehama County Museum celebrated a week early. On Sunday, Feb. 28, the groups capitalized on the pleasant weather and planted a Raywood Ash and two October Glory Maples on the museum grounds to beautify and provide future summer shade. Red Bluff Garden Club President Sharon Kessey reports that each year the club commemorates Arbor Day by providing and planting trees in com- munities throughout Tehama County. This year, one of the programs beneficiaries was the Tehama County Museum. Museum President Chris Bauer expressed gratitude for the donation and stat- ed that "Our annual Jubilee, a "revenue enhancement" event, is held in early September – a notoriously hot time of the year. By early after- noon, shade is at a premi- um and folks are negotiat- ing with each other on how best to share what's available. These new trees will not only meet the need of extra summer heat relief but will afford additional fall beauty. We feel fortunate that the Red Bluff Garden Club has elected to share its resources and expertise with the Museum." The Tehama County Museum, 275 C St., in Tehama on the Sacramen- to River is open Saturdays and Sundays from 1-4 p.m. The public is invited to drop by, admire the new trees and share in the his- tory of Tehama County. Admission to the museum is free but donations are always gratefully accept- ed. Anyone interested in serving the community and keeping local history alive is encouraged to become a member. The Red Bluff Garden Club meets the fourth Tuesday of the month at 12:30 p.m. in Union Hall at 12889 Baker Rd. just north of Walnut St., Red Bluff.
