Music Technology in Education

Today I post to my blog for the 400th time. It has certainly taken me a little longer to post another 100 posts than it did in previous years (I posted my 300th post in April of 2008), but I am still thoroughly enjoying the blogging experience, and I thank you for taking some time out of your day to read this. I started this blog in September of 2006, and nearly three years later it is still a rewarding endeavor.

As many of you may know, for the past 18 months I have been the Managing Director of SoundTree, and it has been the most exciting part of my career thus far. I have traveled extensively across the country, speaking with educators about the integration of technology in music education. My blog has been a way to connect with these educators after my sessions are over, and it is quite rewarding to hear from them months later. I plan on continuing this effort for many years to come. I enjoy finding out about new products, websites, and innovative ways that educators are integrating technology into their music curricula. There is never a shortage of new content to blog about, and it is certainly a challenge to keep up with the ever ebbing tide of new technologies. I am always amazed by what I find, and by what fellow bloggers find as well. To anyone who has ever asked me: “How do you keep on top of all of this new technology?”, my answer remains: I read and write blogs. Hopefully you will too.

Thanks to everyone who has taken the time to comment over the past few years. Every blogger knows that it is comments (more importantly the discourse that comments foster) that drives us. Please keep them coming!

See you at the 500th post!
