Music for Fun & Learning!
My goals for this webpage are to assist my music students (the ones who come to my studio and the internet ones) in their musical studies, to share many musical interests, exchange ideas with other music educators and music lovers, and to entertain everyone who stops by with something fun about music!
If you have a music link, blog, or site you would like to contribute, please do so in the areas below.
Teachers, students, musicians, and those who love music may want to check out:
~ the music theory section for practice on learning how to read notes and rhythms,
~ information on how and where to find sheet music, both free and for purchase,
~ the instrument families of the orchestra,
~ famous classical composers & popular music artists,
~ links to other music education writers,
~ trusted musical instrument, sheet music, and recording retailers,
~ and lists of music education sites (this will be constantly growing)!

Squidoo Music Awards ~ Classical Music
The music unit Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker Ballet was featured on the Squidoo Music Blogat Crabbysbeach on January 26, 2010
by music lensmaster Ulla Hennig
as part of the "Squidoo Music Awards"!
"Today I present to you an amazing Squidoo lens which combines the focus on Classical Music with the idea to use Squidoo lenses as teaching materials - Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker Ballet, created by JoyfulPamela.
Actually she has created a whole series of lenses about the Nutcracker Ballet, but I will concentrate on the more general one. It offers loads of information about ballet dancing, Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker Ballet, about the author of the story, E.T.A. Hoffmann, and of course about the composer, Pjotr Illich Tchaikovsky.
I very much enjoyed to browse through the various materials and to learn more about the ballet and his composer." ~ Written by and quoted from Ulla Hennig. Thank you!
Squidoo Music Awards ~ Classic Rock

- Music is many things. It makes us joyful, irritated, melancholic, afraid and mad. Music can also be for every one. It invades virtually something and everything. Completely different milieus have their own music to recollect. Numerous races and continents additionally enjoy distinctive music.
