Here are a few interesting articles and other tidbits I’ve come across this week that I thought I’d share:

sfrack reminds music teachers of the importance of Painting Pictures Through Music. I’ve started doing this more with students and it’s such a great teaching technique!

Jon Dittert over at Music Teacher’s Helper Blog shares a handout he gave his percussion students during their Thanksgiving break on How to Practice. I think this outline will be helpful even for my practicing!

This article on 10 Great Ways to Jumpstart Your Creativity was very inspiring! (HT: Collaborative Piano Blog)

About.com’s Music Education Blog begins the Christmas Countdown. Looks like fun!
