Teacher's may want to take a look at the latest anti-file sharing tool being used by a non-profit group to attempt to teach students about the dangers of file sharing and illegal music downloads. The 24 page comic book pamphlet is causing quite a stir among some in the online community.
Welcome back
everyone to another wonderful school year! MusicEdMagic is proud to
introduce one of our new writers, AustralianTel Asiado , a Sydneysider .
I have worked with Tel for several years on Suite101.com where I once
served as the music appreciation writer. Today Tel serves there as the Great Thinkers feature writer, and a consistent
top contributor for both Music and Mind & Soul categories. Tel has been brought on board here at
MusicEdMagic for her expertise in music history, opera, and composers
in general.
As
the new school year opens I thought I would offer my top five picks for
useful online tools to help you get organized as well as to find and

free (although some also have paid versions for additional features).
As the school year begins anew here is a quick look at some useful educational grants for classrooms and teachers to apply for. Most of them are tech related, but isn't everything these days?
When I received my copy of Finale 2009 last week I was anxious to get started on doing an in depth review of it. Now that I have had a few days to kick it around I am confident I can give you a preliminary review of the newest music notation software product from MakeMusic. One that is not without its ups and downs.
