Hi. Wonderful blog. - Bob
ReplyDeleteI think it might make more sense for the school to publish the blog on their own website, rather than using an outside host. Good luck with your endeavor.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea!
ReplyDeleteI don't mind it that you use blogspot. It's technically easier and free.
As to what's useful information, I would like to get a better idea of what's happening inside the school. My daughter is currently attending a music workshop but other than dropping her off and picking her up I have no idea what's happening during the workshop.
Also, I would be interested in discussions on methodologies and pedagogy. I saw you advertise certain methodologies that are controversial. I'd like to know more about the rationale of your choices and also to see what other people think too.
Thanks!
What kinds of "controversial" methodologies are you referring to?
ReplyDeleteThis is a great idea! I do not think it is a problem that you are using blogspot. I use it myself because it is so easy to use, and free. It would be a good idea to link to here from your main website so people can find it.
ReplyDeleteI am an adult student at Settlement. I like all the ideas you listed. I think it would also be nice to have reviews or listings for local music events of interest, and maybe reviews of new music releases, music-related books, articles, etc.
I think it would be fun to hear what the alumni are up to now, on a regular basis. Also, having been through the college/conservatory application process recently, a section dedicated to that would be very valuable.
ReplyDeleteI think it would be easier for parents to access the blog if you had wireless internet for them at the branches. Some parent sit there for 3-4 hours straight. As a parent, I would be interested in information on the staff as well as the ideas mentioned in your email.
ReplyDeleteAs a parent I concur that wireless internet at the branches would be wonderful. As would a few more comfortable chairs and better lighting. All of the ideas above mentioned sound interesting.

ReplyDeleteI agree that using blogspot is much easier and free and as like Jen already said it would be a great idea to link to here from your main website so people can find it.
I would also suggest that the blog promotes the possibility of students to meet and play together as well as collaborating with the blog with their own material.
