Thing 7a

I have really had an adventure in reading an array of Blogs. There is a Blog for practically anything that is known to man. I have really had to check myself and stay focused on my original purpose of exploring what was out there that pertained to the subject of music education. I am still in the exploration stage.

I have initially found a couple of sites that are of interest. As an example of how we can help each other, one of my fellow Web 2.0 classmates , Debbie Notestine, in her comment on one of my blogs told me about a blog she had read, about a man who has a site where he posts the sheet music and audio  to be played on a Ukelele. One of the tunes was a well known Hawaian Song called ” Lovely Hula Hands”. This site also lead me to a “tuning site” not only for Ukeleles but for violins and cellos.

Another site that I found was Amy M. Byrne’s blog ,“Elementary Music/Music Technology”, which is devoted to ways to teach students about composing, improvising … music and even some tips on what technology equipment would be helpful.

During my time of being ” focus challenged”, I found an article on Jekyll Island and beach erosion at the north end of the island. This is of interest to me since I and my family have spent at least a week, of just about every summer there, for the last 40 years.

I could go on and on but I will do that later.
