Episode one logo Episode One: Say Hello to Music Blocks

This is an Episodic show. You can listen to it in any order, but episode one is always a great place to start.

Full Episode description

Music gives us a soundtrack for some of the most memorable moments in each of our stories, from graduation ceremonies to holiday celebrations. Here’s a look at festive sounds and traditional stories from around the world. Each song might not tell a story of its own, but this music helps frame our own personal stories in potent ways.

Stuff to think about after you’ve listened:

  • We mentioned weddings, sporting events, graduation, and holiday ceremonies in our episode. What kinds of ceremonies do you think deserve their own kind of music?

  • What is a favorite song that you hear at a ceremony?

  • Ready to explore more music from all kinds of ceremonies and celebrations? Check out our playlists on Spotify or Apple Music.

This is one of eight Music Blocks episodes exploring how musicians use sound to tell stories about our lives. You can listen in any order. Find more episodes, discussion questions and playlists at MusicBlocksPodcast.org.
