Below starts the announcement of the CALL FOR MUSIC EDUCATION BLOGGERS:

2008-2009 Mustech.Net’s International Initiative:

Call For Music Education Bloggers

Dr. Joseph M. Pisano and Mr. Owen S. Bradley began/announced an initiative at the Florida Music Educator’s Conference (FMEA), in January of this year, asking music educators to create 100 new music education related weblogs (blogs) by January of 2009. The goal of these new blogs would be to become part of the music education information repository on the internet and begin to provide accurate, timely, and needed information about music and the music profession to other colleagues, musicians, ensembles, educators, and the general population.

The Music Education Blogger (ME Blogger) initiative is global in nature and music educators from throughout the world are invited to participate and create blogs about their particular interests. Blog content may very from specifics like, Kodaly, Orff, Dalcroze, elementary choirs, or classroom management to global topics like elementary music, secondary music, instrumental music, the entire music program, etc.

Please note this Call for Bloggers is only accepting non-commercial, non-static, blog-style websites for submission and inclusion. If you are already blogging about music education, music education technology, music performances, or other related music education topics, please consider joining our campaign and becoming an official ME blogger and have your site listed with the other experts of this initiative.

Finally, please note that mustech.net has agreed to provide technical support for anyone that is part of this campaign (or would like to become part of the campaign) as it relates to starting and maintaining these blogs. Mustech.net has technical forums and an e-mail support system setup for this campaign and has successfully helped a number of ME Bloggers get started with this campaign already.
