Leading Notes Inaugural Issue

02/15/11 By Leave a Comment

Today, Justine Dolorfino and Nick Jaworski redefined what it means to consume digital information as a music educator with the inaugural release of their e-magazine, Leading Notes! From their about page, here is Justine and Nick’s explanation of what exactly Leading Notes is:

Leading Notes, founded in December 2010, is a new music education magazine that seeks to maintain an online space for discussion about the intersection of philosophy and practice. It attempts to supplement the already well-established music education online community by providing a platform for persons associated with the field to share their thoughts about teaching music in the 21st century. Our hope is that through making this content available, discussions about important topics in music education can be better facilitated. We are interested in keeping an open mind and are open to receiving submissions from students of all ages, current and retired professors, composers, performers, and anyone in between.

Reasons You Need a Recording Device

12/29/10 By Leave a Comment

I wrote a review this Monday for a new Zoom Q3HD that I received as a gift this holiday season. While it has already had many applications for me during my time at the Midwest Clinic, the Q3HD has even more of an opportunity to be a useful tool to me as I begin my student teaching experiences this January. There are tons of ways I plan to use this handy little device this semester; I certainly wish I had the opportunity to use it for a much longer period of time during my course of study! Whether it’s a Q3HD, a Flip cam, or any other video/audio recording device, here are a few reasons why it is so beneficial for Music Ed Majors to have a recording device during their course of study:

12/20/10 By 5 Comments

While at the 2010 Midwest Band and Orchestra Clinic;, I had the opportunity to spend a good amount of time at the Alfred booth, learning about their new “Sound Innovations” method book. While I’ll be writing in more detail on Sound Innovations in the coming days, here is a ten-minute interview I did with Peter regarding the method book, his involvement in its development, and what advantages it brings over other methods. Check out what Peter had to say about Sound Innovations (there is a lot of background noise, so I have included a transcript below the video): [Read more...]
