Andrew,
I am a retired music teacher who taught "General Music" (remember him, he fought in the..oh, not that kind of general, I see)...I hate the expression General Music. When was music every general, we might as well say, General Social Studies...
Andrew,
So glad to have your blogs here on Fireside. I'm a firm believer in the power of the arts and their EXTREME importance in education. Everything you write, I read. You have a number of loyal fans and supporters here, and across the educatio...
Hi Andrew,
Yeah, I love that book. I gave it for holiday presents to Kiana's (my daughter's) music teachers. Hey, this week we're going to begin watching snippets of "The Music Instinct, Science and Song." And next week I'm meeting with the dean o...
It would, indeed, be wonderful to collaborate this year and I'm sure we'll figure out how. Interesting about Music and Humanness. Daniel J. Levitan discusses the idea of music 'data' being encoded in the evolutionary process in the fascinating boo...
Andrew--
Totally awesome! Yeah... great fun, and so meaningful.
Wow--I wish we were in the same building; I'd be asking you to do projects together all the time. I'm on my way with a birdsong-into-human-music project, way over my head, but having ...
When I first tried to wrap my mind around twitter, I had the same reaction as many--what a trivial waste of time!
It's true that some use twitter to share every and any banal event of their lives. However there is real PLN (Professional Learning ...
Andrew, this was absolutely GREAT - wow! I like sharing YouTube videos with my students just for the sheer fun of thinking and experiencing incredibly cool stuff and this is INCREDIBLY COOL. I will definitely share it. In fact, this could help me ...
Brilliant, Ed.

This is very interesting! Here's the English translation.
I love this idea that these book's content was constrained by the page- that they might live and breathe better given a digital, hyper-linked environment. So true that the design and content of some (text)books is excellent.
This thinking reminds...

Twitter As Professional Learning Resource
When I first tried to wrap my mind around twitter, I had the same reaction as many--what a trivial waste of time!
It's true that some use twitter to share every and any banal event of their lives. However there is real PLN (Professional Learning Network) potential on Twitter. Many forward-thinking teachers and administrators use Twitter to post li… Continue

- Hi Andrew, I thought about you this evening watching a GREAT documentary about Robert Moog - have you seen it? here's the promo website for the movie:
http://www.zu33.com/moog/
It was wonderful, so warm and thought-provoking, too. I had seen Moog in a documenary about Leon Theremin years ago, and he seemed like such a great guy then... but I had no idea really until seeing this documentary what a congenial genius he was. Wow. Anyway, you have shared such great recs with us I wanted to share this with you in case you had not seen this film. It was super. :-)

- Hi Andrew ! Would you like to work and talk with french music teachers :) I have a suggestion for you: we have in Europe special programs to encourage students of european countries to work together. Next year, it will be possible to have for this program non-european teachers and students. It's possible to plan a project with teachers music i work with... I'll give you more details if you are interestes,
Vincent

- Yeah, Andrew! So glad to have you here. Echo Skip's comments: true musical education and personalized technology... So much to hear about. We can all learn a lot of stuff together. Your site, "Another Brick in the Wall: ed, tech, and new paradigms" is fascinating.
Please join into the conversations and start your own as well. Glad to see you posted on your blog here right away.
Welcome!
What's on your mind? Want some hot chocolate? How about some marshmallows to toast?
PS: My daughter is in music, studying to become a music teacher. It's fascinating to hear what they study. She's also into leading a traveling fiddling group (Gaelic).

Please start or participate in any discussions of interest to you in this community of learners. True musical education and personalized technology use are two topics in which I am particularly interested and hope to hear more from you about.
