[HANASHIR:16974] Libby Larsen on Music Education

[Adrian Durlester <adrian...>]

Chaverim:

I call to your attention this article in today's Washington Post:

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A20784-2004Mar1.html

In which composer Libby Larsen speaks about American music education.
Definitely food for thought, and some of what she says may be quite
applicable to our own approaches to teaching about Jewish music to our
students and community as well.

(I believe you may now be required to register at the Post's site in order
to see articles, but I can assure you it's a benign process.)

-B'vracha,

Adrian
