Well this is depressing...

Wow it is all doom and gloom for American orchestras these days.... I would highly encourage you to check out this post from bassist Jason Heath's Arts Addict blog.
Also, if you are interested in seeing more of the Bobby McFerrin panel that I posted yesterday, the whole panel discussion from the World Science Festival is available here. It gets a little too neuroscientific for my tastes, but if you are into that sort of thing, it might be right up your alley. And since Bobby McFerrin is my new hero, I watched it.
We had our first professional development for my job as a teaching artist a few days ago. I have tons of things on my mind concerning arts education, and I'm trying to come up with my year-long plan. If any of you have any resources for kids songs about learning names, I'd love to hear 'em!
Oh, and Happy Labor Day.
