Music Admin Pro : Music Management Software
If you are tired of being inundated with administrative duties and feeling disorganised and overwhelmed by all the tasks that need to be done in running a music department, there is now finally, a real software solution for your problems called Music Admin Pro.
Having worked as the Director of Music at a large private secondary school with a staff of 45 instrumental music teachers, I am very aware of the problems you face. After exhaustive searching for Music Administration software I found that only a handful of programs existed.
Having degrees in Engineering and Music, and a strong background in software programming, I decided to write a program that handled all administrative aspects of running a Music department. Both the PC and Macintosh versions are available and both are currently in use by a variety of educational institutions like schools, colleges, universities, conservatoriums and private music schools. A number of universities make the use of Music Admin Pro a compulsory component for their music teaching degrees.

A Parent's Guide to Music Lessons
A child's introduction to music, just like his introduction reading, should not wait for formal classes to start. Just as you read to your very young children, you should sing to them (whether you consider yourself a decent singer or not), dance with them, teach them singing games like "Ring Around the Rosy", and share with them the music that you like.

Art & Music Developing Educational Standards (USA)

Art & Music Developing Educational Standards (USA)
Good teachers have standards in mind when they set their lessons up, where the idea of a "standard" represents a specific idea of what the teacher expects a student to recall, replicate, manipulate, understand, or demonstrate at some point down the road - and of how the teacher will know how close a student has come to meeting that standard. Standards, in other words, are conceptually nothing new - though we do seem to keep reinventing them.
We have established this page as a repository for as much information about educational standards and curriculum frameworks from all sources (national, state, local, and other) as can be found on the Internet.
