Blogging has given me a network of people that have really influenced my teaching, but you can't listen to all. A+ for this post. I couldn’t agree more!

I have accepted invitations to address all kinds of groups (including mothers of twins!) and have attended local book signings, marketing discussions and even chamber of commerce meetings. Music educators (in or out of academia) can learn a lot by applying business practices to their profession. At the very least, the contacts one makes during these encounters can lead to seats n your auditorium! In my case, I have garnered steady media attention for our school and our MusickEd.com products.

Sometimes someone comes out with something that you never thought of and it is the perfect solution. Sometimes you need the comfort and caring and certain friends fill that need. Great post!

We sometimes get to "into" our own little world! We forget that there are other people out there doing the same things as we are! I find that if I am having issues with certain students that most times the choir teacher and I will be having the same issues. Or the computer teacher and I will! We talk and figure it out. Of course reading these blogs open the doors up even to outside our own schools! You are so right! We sometimes get to “into” our own little world!
