Music education, in some form, goes back as far as education itself. While sometimes struggling for legitimacy, it nonetheless has had its champions. More recently, as technology has flourished within education, technological applications designed specifically for the teaching of music have been developed. While much of this technology is designed primarily for the classroom there are programs designed for the student to utilize in the home, albeit limited to those students with a home computer and internet access. The teaching of music in the American educational setting dates back 1838 when Lowell Mason introduced singing classes to Boston grammar schools. Instrumental music appeared in fits and starts over the next fifty years but was never included during the school day; rather, it was relegated to the ranks of extracurricular activities. Around the turn of the century, instrumental music began to see some acceptance into the classroom, though often was taught by those untrained in the area of music education. Moreover, little if any standardization of the instrumentation or music literature existed. (Rhodes, 2007) Near the conclusion of World War I the quality of school music began to increase.

Advanced Internet Marketing Strategies I've spent a lot of time learning about advertising on the radio. I understand ROI as well as MER (Media Efficiency Ratio). I understand the point of 30 minute long form ads versus :30 second spots and prime placement versus remnant space. These are all radio terms that help businesses get good at advertising on the radio. But here's something I don't get. When I was a kid growing up in Anchorage, Alaska I first heard "That Song" by Genesis on KGOT. In Omaha during college I listened to Rush Limbaugh on KKAR and in Nashville I listen to music on JackFM. There doesn't appear to be anything strange about that, does there? EXCEPT while driving today I couldn't remember where JackFM was on the radio dial. That's what's strange. At least JackFM has branded itself with an attitude, but what about KGOT and KKAR and WTN?

Now I've certainly listened to my share of stations that use their numbers with their name every 2 minutes like 101.3 KFAR. It gets ...
