Music Education Ezine

At the Fun Music Company we really care what you think and how you use our products and services. We also want to be able to give you the most value and the best quality music teaching resources you can find on the internet. We’ve put together a short survey asking a few general questions about what you find works best for you and how you prefer to use the products. This should take no more than 5-10 minutes to complete and everyone who participates will receive a twenty dollar Fun Music Company voucher to use on any of our products. Just click here to go straight to it. If you've already done it, then thankyou! - we really appreciate your time and input.

Also in this edition you’ll be able to read an article and check out the discussions we’re having in our recently formed Facebook group called "Fun Music Teaching Resources". You’ll get to find out about some great links which will give you access to 15 free music activities and lesson plans for the classroom, and you’ll find out about some great flashcard updates especially designed for music classroom teaching.

Also, towards the end of this month keep an eye on your email for some exclusive sneak previews to another brand new product to help you in the studio or classroom. This product is designed to make teaching about the Great Composers easy and fun and is shaping up to be one of our best teaching tools yet. It’s in the finishing stages this month and I can’t wait to be able to give you free access to a lesson plan and teaching tools to try out!

Have a great August,

P.S. We have level two of our printable music theory books now in its final stages, plus this new "Great Composers" module of lesson plans on the way... so stay tuned!
