New in the Music Blog World!
In the past week I’ve come across several new music blogs, so I thought I would pass the word on to everyone else, too!
ComposeCreate.com – Some of you are probably familiar with Wendy’s Piano Studio website and the great resources she offers. I was thrilled to recently discover that she has started a blog with “Tools for composing, creating, and teaching music.”
Rebecca W. Music – Music, Drama and Arts Education. Since I’ve been integrally involved with both drama and music education for quite a few years, I am excited to follow this new blog dedicated to the combination of these two areas!
The Music Notes Blog – A mixture of resources and free sheet music for piano and guitar. You may especially be interested in this free downloadable 3-octave piano keyboard graphic.
Teaching Adult Piano Students – I found out about this new blog from Rebecca, of the Piano Teacher’s Retreat blog. Its author, Dan Starr, has been teaching adults for over 20 years, so it promises to offer lots of valuable information for music instructors of adult students. You’ll probably also want to visit his Help for the Adult Piano Studio Blog.
Website for Those Who Like to Play Piano – Run by Annemie Van Riel, a Belgium teacher, the Tips and Games page especially appears to offer some promising ideas. (HT: Wendy)
If you’ve come across any other great blogs or websites, or have started one yourself, I’d love to know about it!
I think I’ll check out the teaching adults blog as I have had about zero success with any adult students.
It takes a humble adult to be willing to work this way. And one who is also willing to have their nails trimmed short.
Thanks for sharing! I’m going to start a weekly blog entry for my students to introduce some compositions/composers to them.
I never turn down a chance at self-promotion. My site is educational and geared towards composers and pianists.
I am so honored to be featured on your blog! I’m slowly but surely working on adding more “stuff” to my blog.
I didn’t know you that you’re a drama teacher, too. You don’t happen to have a website dedicated to drama education, too, do you? We need more of those! ;o)
Thanks so much for mentioning my “blog,” which is not so much a real blog as it is a method to alert RSS users to new additions to my website. Music for Music Teachers (www.music-for-music-teachers.com) features free sheet music for piano, guitar, and voice, along with commentary on how to teach it.
Your site, MusicMatters, is very visually appealing!

Hi all. It’s nice to have all these references to other blogs. Mine’s tiny, but potent. At least I think so.
Come see.
