   Joel This is a great historical list! Congrats, I am going to post to it.
   One addition, is I started my first education/music blog on October 5th, 2005 @ jpisano.com/blog This was folded and reborn into mustech.net in August of 2006.

   I’d also like permission to reprint this list and credit and link to you/it under the ME Blogger tab on page…

   Thanks for taking the time to compile this list. The first article I published was actually this one:

   http://collaborativepiano.blogspot.com/2005/11/one-page-guide-to-collaborative-piano.html

   I created the test post later as a place to dump images so I could harvest the source url’s later

   Wow! What an undertaking! This is so fun to have in list form. I began going through each one a while ago, but this list motivates me to continue!

   Chris, I made the change. Thanks!

   Rebecca, I was surprised by how much it motivated me too. I was saddened by the number of blogs I found that had been around for more than a few months and had less than 5 posts. Maybe this trackback will help inspire them to write some more…

   Hi Joel – that’s an interesting study! My own music education blog has lapsed (pwhitfield.edublogs.org) but not my commitment to elearning and music! I found I was writing online in just too many different places so I re-organised! In particular, I found that carrying on the discussion in places like classroom20.ning.com was more valuable to me than my own blog, and I wanted to integrate my professional music blogging and my education blogging in one place, as it hit me that these were not separate but mutually beneficial. All the best.

   Joel,

   Thanks for putting in the work to put together this list!

   Since you have my site down as Unknown I will clarify things a bit. MusicEdMagic actually started on July 26th of 2005 but with a different domain name. My first article (Group Discipline While Traveling) is still up there at the address: http://www.musicedmagic.com/educational-travel/group-discipline-while-traveling.html

   I didn’t start calling my blog Tales From The Podium until much later. Sorry for the confusion. :)

   Fantastic list, thanks for putting this together.

   Now I’ve just got to find time to investigate all those extra resources . . . .

    I must admit it was a fun project. Just sitting down and reading a few music education blogs really inspired me and gave me a few new feeds to follow as well. Thanks for all of your comments! I’m away from home, but when I get back I will make sure to make all of the changes you have all suggested.

    I’m a music teacher with an education blog–but I don’t blog exclusively about music education. Does that count? I’ve been blogging since January 2007…

    Although I’m a music teacher, I confess that very few of the posts on my blog (which I only started in October last year) are specifically about music – but I’m sure the balance will be redressed in time!

    Nancy and Caz,

    I started my blog in February of 2007 and wrote nothing specifically about music teaching for the first year. Even then, it was maybe once a month. Don’t worry about it. Just write whatever works and share it with the world. :)

    Thanks, Joel. Might I be added to your list then? I started writing on January 20, 2007 with this post, entitled “Who is the Teacher in a Strange Land?”

    Hey! Tomorrow is my two-year anniversary. I’m off to celebrate.

    Hi Joel!
    Great post! It’s so cool to see so many bloggers blogging about music ed. I didn’t see mine in the list though!;) I re-started blogging publicly on Oct 15, 2008 when I changed my classroom website into a blog and began this journey to blog about life in the Urban Music Education world.
    I’m inspired by your blog and have added you to my blogroll too!
    Thanks,
    Sarah Johnston at UrbanMusicEducation.org

    I didn’t make the 100 Music Ed bloggers list, but maybe I can be included here! I started writing The Lowe Piano Studio Blog in Jan. of 2009 with a post called Why I Love Teaching Piano. http://lowepianostudio.blogspot.com/2009/01/why-i-love-teaching-piano.html
    Thanks!
