The Virtual Podium: October 2010
http://virtualpodium.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html
My thoughts and reflections related to the field of wind conducting and music education. Feel free to comment all you'd like. Saturday, October 30, 2010. The Score Marking Dilemma. First quarter of Grad School(yes the quarter system is weird) is almost complete. I performed in my first concert in a long time. Still in awe of playing on the Hindemith "Symphony in Bb" and Rodrigo's "Adagio" is one romantic, fiery piece! Playing with my iPhone4. Professor VanWinkle(New Mexico State) on Score Study.

Total Music Education: Reflection in Music Engineering
http://totalmusiceducation.blogspot.com/2009/01/reflection-in-music-engineering.html
Exploring the different sides of a comprehensive music education and questioning what it means to be musically literate. Monday, February 2, 2009. Reflection in Music Engineering. I have about a month left to finish my work on Concordia's Beat. Which, now that everyone's been recorded, involves the mixing and mastering all 14 groups. I've already made seven pretty good rough mixes, and hopefully, the patch bay I installed this weekend will help with the other half. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Seeing as today is a holiday and there is no school, the start of my student teaching (for which I am beyond excited! Is delayed a day, and I'm finding myself with a day off.

Exploring the different sides of a comprehensive music education and questioning what it means to be musically literate. Monday, May 14, 2012. Laughing at Burn-Out's Pathetic, Ugly Face. Did you see it? I had to chuckle when I read my last post about not having to change my style or my goals. Yeah, whatever. I stuck to as many of my guns as I could, but if your old tricks aren't getting across to the students, using them doesn't get you far. Details to come. Links to this post.

Exploring the different sides of a comprehensive music education and questioning what it means to be musically literate. Thursday, May 26, 2011. Licenses and food: not (necessarily) mutually exclusive. And the several hundred dollars you end up spending on a license is no longer dwarfed by tuition. So, what's the moral to this story? I'll say again: Plan. Your. Finances. Dave Ramsey, creator of the Seven Baby Steps. Other things you might not know about getting a teaching license:. Most states I've seen ...

My Music Tech: What Is Sony Acid?
http://mymusictech.blogspot.com/2008/02/what-is-sony-acid.html
Topics in Music Technology and New Paradigms for Learning Music. Tuesday, February 26, 2008. What Is Sony Acid? Sony Acid is a loop-based music composition software program that makes it easy for those with little music training to create original music compositions. Since the "sounds" are already provided as loops (for example, guitar, drums, saxophones, synthesizers), the 'composer' simply needs to arrange the sounds in an order that appeals to them. It helps to know something about musical (song) form.

Topics in Music Technology and New Paradigms for Learning Music. Friday, June 03, 2011. Music Education Must Shift. In the last post, I suggested a new paradigm. Increasingly, students are coming to us with skills on (electric) guitar, keyboards and other instruments (mandolin has become popular recently because of it's use by some mainstream pop artists. It's perfectly decent music. If we don't do it at school, students are busy learning it anyway. Despite the school music program! Logy Classes (formerl...

My Music Tech: The 21st Century Music Program
http://mymusictech.blogspot.com/2011/06/21st-century-music-program.html
Topics in Music Technology and New Paradigms for Learning Music. Friday, June 03, 2011. The 21st Century Music Program. I've written about it already:. Music Education must shift. As most of what we do in Education must shift now). But I haven't given a prescription for the shift. I'll focus on music education first since it's where I've spent most of my career. So where does secondary Music Education fit into this? Do students ever hear "their" music? In a 21st Century Music. In a 21st Century Music.
