The Morning Music News Follows Directly, Standby:
Music Educators Using Twitter…: “I’ve updated the list of Music Educators using Twitter. In today’s fast moving-and-information-overload society it is very difficult to know who is doing what, who is worth following for news, and where to find better information about things… Twitter is an amazing service that allows you to to keep abreast of the latest news and information at the fasted speed currently possible (and considering how fast everything moves nowadays -this is really a Herculean feat).”
Create rehearsal recordings in seconds with new plug-in: “With the Rehearsal Recordings plug-in, you can create an audio track for each part in a single operation, with that one part brought forward in the texture (either by half-muting or scaling down the volume of the other staves) and even changing its pan position (so that the principle part is, say, panned left and the accompaniment is panned right, or vice versa). If you don’t need audio tracks for every single part, click the Choose Parts to Export button to add or remove parts from the exported files.'” Hat-tip: Dr. Jim Frankel

Friends, family celebrate teacher’s final heroic act: Anyone who is a band director and has traveled in a bus has thought about doing exactly what this AMAZING music teacher gave her life for…her students: “[Heather] Christensen, 33, died Saturday night after the bus carrying her and 49 American Fork High School band students rolled on Interstate 15 in Idaho on their way back from a competition. The bus driver had an apparent medical episode, causing the bus to veer off the road. Christensen dived for the wheel and tried to steer the bus back to the road but fell out a window as the vehicle rolled, said John Miller, American Fork High director of bands.”
Berklee in trademark battle: “Berklee College of Music is suing a Florida company that offers online music education to colleges, claiming it blatantly lifted content verbatim from the Boston school’s own Web sites. Music Industry Educators Inc. “copied” material, including course descriptions and listings of music associations, career resources and internships from www.berklee.edu and Berklee’s online music education site, www.berkleemusic.com, and “pasted” the content on its own sites without attribution or permission, said David Kusek, vice president of Berklee Media.”
