To close my blog at the end of this semester – my first semester at NYU as a graduate student, I have to say - thanks for being patient with me as I adapted to commuting, dealing with horrible train schedules, and especially coping with the unfamiliar territory of electronic devices, computers, and software. I have learned so much this semester through this class. Photoshop, Flash, Dreamweaver,

Evaluate this course in the context of your own progress and development and speculate on what you might do to further your learning and understanding of technology in performing arts or music education, and how it might apply to your future teaching or art/music making: The strongest feature of this class was the flexibility and student centered learning experience that allowed for a wide range

As I haven't been to the website violinist.com in many months, I thought I would post the link in hopes of remembering it more often in the future for reference as it is a good gathering place of sorts for many people I know to keep in touch and share stories, thoughts, and information. It has grown quite a bit since the beginning days when the people who started the site actually acknowledged me

Creating my webpage has been quite an adventure (?!) perhaps that is one way to put it. Previous experience with creating web based materials has been limited to changing color backgrounds on the blog - ooooooo yay. Seriously, most people, especially now, grew up with internet, computers, other such electronic devices (television, video games, computers, etc) I did not. So although I have a

Flash as a tool for music education can provide excellent online tutorials or organization for students in classrooms – easily adding materials to a website to help students document homework, keep recitals and performance dates accessible, and recordings to support home or rehearsal practices. As far as the web authoring aspect of developing web materials that support music education, both in

Back when I started teaching violin, and once when I moved far away and left my second violin teacher, I had or taught lessons via the telephone. Not long ones of course, we used the phone on speaker phone and I would listen to my student play a troubling passage or listen for specific notes and answer questions. Never thought much about it at the time, this was about ten years ago. Somehow it

Ok. Very frustrating. Usually I can figure out websites, but I had problems with blogger in the past, which is why I don't usually use it. Everytime I try to add links to the other blogs it gives me an error message, only doesn't tell me what the error is....

It’s hard to believe that January is already past. In the mood of improvisation, I had the opportunity to work for the MENC CJME regional auditions (orchestral – full) in the district of South Plainfield all day on Saturday. Although the room I was monitoring was supposed to be containing violin sight reading, there was a lot of unintentional improvisation with random rhythms, key signatures, and

I think I definitely misrepresented the concept of web 2.0 in my own mind which reflected negatively in my previous entry. Rather than dwelling on the activity of humanist sharing and communication in a positive light, I brought up personal experiences that appear to be on the forefront of 2.0, which will only prove to be not on the forefront of this new web concept, but on the end of the

In discussing this new method of access and thought of the internet and its resources as available to the general public and presented as a concept combined into music education and technology. It seems as if this will both further studies, resources, and change awareness with internet possibilities. This new technology also makes some things harder, for example trying to register for teaching
