For those of you newbies, be sure to read Nancy Flanagan's Five Things I'd Change in Music Education (or anything else she writes on her blog!), and a really interesting post that finds common ground between the Olympics and Music Education called Lessons Learned from Michael Phelps by Travis Weller.
