You will be contributing to our class blog (web log) on Blogger.com. In this space, you will write a REACTION TO /REFLECTION ON (NOT a summary of) the readings assigned for each class. Each reflection will be based on the entire reading for a class period; you may choose to focus on one specific article or write about the general theme of the group of articles. Each blog entry should be approximately 1-2 word-processed pages in length (around 3-6 paragraphs). Your reaction could include:

A. General reaction to the reading.

B. Relating what is outlined in the reading to your previous understanding of the topic.

C. Application to yourself, your musical practice and activities.

D. Application to your teaching and your work with students.

E. Application/importance to music education in general.
