Welcome to “Teaching the Wire Choir”!
by dlewis ~ February 23rd, 2008. Filed under: music education, strings, technology.This is my foray into blogging about my experiences teaching strings in the public schools. Presently, I am teaching middle school students, but I have taught elementary and high school levels also. I will be writing about resources I have found helpful, frustrations, and ideas (my own and those I have gleaned from others). Since I haven’t found many blogs that focus on teaching strings, I hope that this site might encourage you and others to join in the discussion.
There will more pages, links, etc. added in the coming days. I hope you return to check out the new things that will be added. Please leave suggestions for links and topics you have found helpful.

Dale,
Welcome to the blogosphere and our global conversation about music and education! I’m glad you have risen to the challenge. I am going to include you on the ME Blogger, February list that will go out on Mustech.net tomorrow. In the mean time, I would suggest that you start visiting around and saying hello to your fellow ME bloggers so they get to know you!
There is also another Choir Teacher that has just started a blog as well, Kyle Gardner…you might want to drop in and say hello, he’s a first year teacher. His site is choirteachers.blogspot.com.
Also you can find the latest help and tips for the ME bloggers at http://www.mustech.net/100-me-bloggers as well as cool ME blogger graphics!
Your site already looks fantastic, congratulations!

Hah,
I just realized I thought you we’re a choir teacher! I see you are a strings teacher! My apologies. Say hello to Kyle anyway!
I got wrapped up in the “choir” and not the “wire” part of your title. In that case, I would suggest saying hello to Stan Haskins, he’s been a blogging strings teacher for awhile and just officially joined the ME Blogger campaign. You can find him at http://gluedtothestring.blogspot.com
Also you have to check out Jason Heath, in my opinion he is one of the best music bloggers “out there”. You can find him at http://doublebassblog.org/
Best regards,

Hi Dale -
Sorry I haven’t dropped by sooner - I haven’t been as active in the blogosphere as I would like these past few months.
Your blog looks GREAT! I will be sure to check back and stay in touch, and hope you do the same.
Later -
Stan
