Inspiring students to practice regularly may not be an easy assignment for any music teacher, but Sarah Grenier found iPod, her MacBook, and iLife to be excellent motivators. Grenier records student performances on a digital camcorder, edits the footage in iMovie, then burns the finished video using iDVD so that students can enjoyâand critiqueâtheir own performances and share their progress with parents, staff, and other students.

The British Department for Education and Skills (DfES) recently launched a "Music Manifesto" campaign, with the ostensible intention of educating the next generation of British musicians. Unfortunately, they also teamed up with the music industry (EMI, and various artists) to make this popular. EMI has apparently negotiated their end well, so that children in our schools will now be indoctrinated about the illegality of downloading music.The ignorance and audacity of this got to me a little, so I wrote an open letter to the DfES about it. Unfortunately, it's pedantic, as I suppose you have to be when writing to goverment representatives. But I hope you find it useful, and perhaps feel inspired to do something similar, if or when the same thing has happened in your area.
