1. Educational Learning
This blog is important because it’s essentially the focus of my Action Research Project. It lists numerous reasons why music is important in primary education and how students can use what they learn when learning music in everyday life.
I absolutely love this blog. Even though it has the history of rock and roll with Elvis Presley, I’m more concerned with the link on the blog that goes to dsokids.com. On this website there is a game where you choose the correct musical period each composer belonged to. And if that doesn’t get the students’ attention, there is a paint shop where you can paint different instruments. I think I have found a new favorite website because it has so much potential.
This blog is along the lines of loving and hating it. If you’re a music educator you love it because it has so many valid points. If you’re an administrator trying to cut the music program because you’re trying to “balance the budget” then you hate it because it has so many valid points. This is a must see for any music educator.
This is the auxiliary blog that I think everybody needs in their research. It’s a start-up blog with information on the iPad being incorporated in the world of music education.
This blog is very in-depth as far as the history of music education goes. It stated how near the end of World War I the quality of school music began to increase. The information on this blog ranges from music education after World War I to the founding of the Music Educational National Conference (MENC).
