I recently added the second part of the series, make sure you check it out as well. Hey, sorry I couldn’t be in your big band when you needed a “ringer”. I would have loved to have played… Some other time.

Awesome job! How exciting! I can’t wait to try it at Sharon. Kudos to both of you…I wish I could have seen it in person!

PC内フリーソフト紹介第177弾!!シーケンサ並の音声編集機能が付いた強力な動画編集ソフトです。最近使い始めたんですけど、音声と動画のタイミングのズレが少なく、音楽を中心とした動画(PVなど)を作るのに最適なソフトだと思います。実際に使ってみてまず驚くのが、レイヤーを重ねた時の自然な動画の混ざり具合。エフェクトのかけ方も比較的簡単で、パワーアップしたMovieMakerという感じ。操作性はムービーメーカーに近いので、他のフリーの動画編集ソフトに比べるとだいぶ入りやすいです。英語版ではありますが、動画…

The URL directs me to the mobile version unless I remove the “Tablet PC 2.0″ entry. Remove the entry, clear the IE cache, retart it and try the URL again and now the normal site appears.

No such problem using Firefox so I’ll be keeping Firefox around to handle sites that behave this way on my Tablet.

BTW, after a re-boot of my Tablet, the problem re-appears so the removal is only good until the next reboot.

Sorry, I’ve send you a couple of emails about this. I’ll resend.

Thanks,

Deleting this worked after an IE restart.

Very cool.

Thanks for the post. I agree, wouldn’t it be nice if we could just experience fine arts in the schools as smoothly as any other subject.

Thanks for your points!

I enjoyed this post and in particular, the paragraph regarding ‘Music and Arts Teachers having every bit of the educational credentials as other teachers’ and should be be afforded ‘the same rights, privileges, and facility spaces as other teachers’.

I would take this a step further and venture to say that music teachers put as much we if not more time into their craft as lawyers, doctors and accountants. These are the disciplines that we should be aspiring to emulate as far as compensation.

For far too long (dating back to Lowell Mason and the Boston School Board days!) music educators have been ‘giving away’ their expertise because by our very nature we are a kind and caring group, often putting students first and our own needs last. I fear we have gone too far down the road inside academia and now we may have few options (if any) as we attempt to gain back our budgets and programs, not to mention our rightful rewards as professionals.

It’s sad for students when programs continue to shrivel up and die. And even sadder for our profession as a whole which gave so much to ’school music programs’ over the years and had such little support.

My dream is that letters like yours will some day no longer be necessary!
