MusicEdNews.com Launches

I am thrilled to announce the launch of MusicEdNews.com, a project of myself and Dr. Joe Pisano!

MusicEdNews.com is set to serve as your one-stop shop for all things music education-related. It will act as an aggregator for over 30 different RSS Feeds from blogs, websites, and podcasts related to Music Education. In short, if it’s about music ed, and it’s on the web, you can find it at MusicEdNews.com! In this day and age, music educators of all types have started creating content online. With the advent of Web 2.0 technologies and RSS, this information is now easier than ever to consume. However, this doesn’t mean we should be satisfied with using basic RSS Feed Readers to consume our information. MusicEdNews.com aims to make the consumption of information even easier by aggregating the top feeds in one place.

In addition to the website, which offers a streamlined and categorized way to view the most recent feed updates, we have created a twitter account (@MusicEdNews) which will tweet updates from each of the feeds that MusicEdNews.com follows. If twitter is your primary means for information-consumption, and you’re a music educator (or aspiring educator), then @MusicEdNews is definitely an account you should follow!

The website launched Wednesday night, and will be on a constant state of flux for the next few weeks as Dr. Pisano and I make changes. If you have any thoughts or suggestions, please feel free to contact us. In the meantime, give MusicEdNews.com a look!
