Host Comments:

I am very excited to host this edition of the carnival with over a dozen of VERY interesting articles and topics. There are a number of new contributers and bloggers in this edition. As in the last edition, posts were saught from any topic related to music education. This edition contains such a treasure trove of knowledge that I’m sure you will want to read them all in one sitting… if you can!

Joel and I are very excited about the tremendous growth in the field of music education bloggers and we (as well as many of our other good friends!) are working hard to continue to provide unique opportunities for them and continue to grow the music education blog community. The Music Education Blog Carnival is just one of those ways to continue to introduce ourselves to each other and the world through our writings about a topic we are passionate about!

If you are reading this and are an active music blogger, I encourage you to join our next carnival which will be hosted by the Elementary Music/Music Technology blog and current TI:ME president, Amy M. Burns. Also, please consider joining the ME Blogger campaign. The campaign started in January 2008 and is finishing on December 31st 2008. The goal…to identify and solicit 100 of the top music educator bloggers known in…, well, our known universe!

I wish you all the best on your upcoming school years and encourage you to “get back to blogging” as you all are “getting back to school!”. Keep the Faith and the great blogging coming!

School Starting Soon…Last Chance To Get In On The August Blog Carnival

July 26, 2008 By: J. Pisano Category: Music Education No Comments →

I’m already getting in gear for band camp.  We start on August 14th.  It’s going to be a great year… I know this already because we’re taking the marching band and the jazz ensemble to Disney World!   The kids are pretty excited about it…  

It’s also time to think about re-tooling your blog and getting some of your ideas up.  Why not jump start your blog with a couple of posts before you head back to school to get into the “swing of things” AND submit one to the Music Education Blog Carnival!  The August blog carnival is almost ready to be posted and you still have a few days to get your submissions into me and Joel…so take advantage of them! 

Submit your Music Education Blog Carnival entry to:

Here’s the link for your blog post submittal for the carnival:
http://blogcarnival.com/bc/submit_4443.html

I don’t have complete access to the back-end at the blog carnival site and will be working with Joel to see if we can have the site give more feedback to you when you submit your entries.  All entries will be considered and most will be posted provided they meet the music education topic criteria for the carnival. Stay Tuned!
