EMC1        xxxxxxx T USA M 9/20/2009 Blog I have received a traditional music 

background. I have a bachelors and masters degree in Music Education. My main instrument is saxophone. My performance interests are primarily jazz and classical saxophone. I started the commercial class to provide an opportunity for non traditional music students.

There needs to be a change in the traditional curriculum and thinking of how music and school in general is taught. Not enough real world and alternative educational experiences are provided for students. My hope is to provide students who do not fit into the traditional music class setting, a place to work and refine their musical talents. The global music project is a great chance for these students to gain a music experience few students will ever receive
