She is an active music educator, blogger, and writer. In addition to her Music Matter’s Blog, she also hosts and operates the pajamaschool blog where she writes about all things related to home-schooling.
Joe-
I am definitely interested in hosting a carnival sometime down the road; perhaps after a few more carnivals of experience as a contributor I’ll be ready! Let me know what months are free down the road a bit!
Just submitted my most recent post to the May carnival!
The Music Education Blog Carnival sounds quite elaborate. I look forward to seeing it unfold in May.
Hi all. It’s nice to have all these references to other ME blogs. Mine’s tiny, but potent. At least I think so.
Come see.
