As a veteran teacher I have seen far too many teachers fail because of classroom management problems. (Remember, classroom management and student achievement are directly related.)
And, all too often I see teachers resort to all types of crazy classroom management plans trying to get a handle on student behavior.

A debate rages on in the drumming world! You might think that the debate centers on brands of drums, or different styles of drums. However, you would be wrong. This debate centers on the use of electronic drums in the music industry. 
Many current music educators grew up in a time when being in an ensemble was solely about playing the music for the next concert. I did not realize until many years later that this method of teaching had set me up for years of mediocrity and frustration.

Is decoding a page of printed music and transferring those symbols to sound really making music?
