Well, I didn’t exactly mean to disappear from here for two weeks, but I took two weeks off of teaching and I guess my lack of routine carried over into blogging! I’m really excited to get back into teaching next week and have all sorts of grand ideas of things I want to do and accomplish. Things related to my own musical development, things related to my students, things related to Music Matters Blog, etc. I doubt all of them will get done, but it’s fun to write them down and try!

In an effort to provide the best possible music education blog that I can, I’ve created a short survey to find out what kinds of posts you like the most, and what new ideas you’re most interested in for future posts.

Just click on the image or the above link to go to the survey. The survey will be open until midnight on January 15, 2009. The best part is, you can win a prize if you participate! I will draw 3 names from all the respondents, and those 3 winners will each be allowed to select a practice incentive program of their choice for free! Winners may choose from Go For the Gold!, Let’s Have a Ball!, and Climbing the Ladder to Success. (If a winner already has all three of these, I will extend the prize option to include several other free downloadable products.) Once I close the survey on January 15, I’ll announce the winners and send the prizes!

Thanks for being a part of Music Matters Blog. I really value your feedback! May God bless your year of teaching throughout 2009!
