I have a confession to make...I'm a Gleek. The show that makes my husband curl up in a ball (he has an aversion to musicals) is my pride and joy. I’ve been watching “Glee” for the past few seasons as characters Rachel, Finn, Quinn, Kurt, Puck, and others grew up before our eyes tackling issues like teen pregnancy, bullying, and finding your place in life. But what I really love about the show is the music!
A former choir nerd, I am entertained by the creative interpretations and mash-ups of popular music! If only my high school group did half of the cool things the kids at McKinley High get to do...sigh. I suppose it’s part nostalgia and part envy on my part that keep me watching week after week.
Should you be looking for a music fix in between episodes, check out Oxford Music Online for the latest news in the music industry, search for a piece you heard on “Glee,” or listen to the difference between a plagal and Phrygian cadence.
