Music Education Resources Part 2
There is something about having time off that is a little disorienting to me. First of all, my focus or the ability to "stay on task" is virtually null and void. For all of you self-starters, you probably have so many projects to complete, you can hardly find time to settle down long enough to tour these music education sites offered in this article. I hope you will make the time because I enjoyed myself immensely. Be prepared; some of these sites are, well, shall we say, unusual or more of a virtual playground. Hopefully these sites will aid in churning some creative brain cells, or at least cleaning some of the cob webs that can develop over the years.

Music Education: What Good is It, any way?
Have you ever heard someone say, "What good are the arts in school anyway? I want my child to learn to read and write, to be decent at math and know a little history." Maybe they don't know that music helps us to appreciate the rhythm of the Cosmos, the biological rhythms, performance rhythms, and perceived rhythm. What was that? Did I hear you say, "So what difference does that make?" I'm glad you asked.

Classical Guitar
One shouldn't say, "Classical guitar" is to be placed on a higher level, because what matters is whether the music is being played well or not. We could compare this with writing text. Whether you are writing with your pen or typing with your computer, what is important are the ideas and the style you will use and how well you communicate. What you write with, shouldn't matter.
