POPSEl Sistema: Changing Lives Through Music This is something I really believe in & have been working hard at the last few years in the area where I live. I think its absolutely tragic that millions of kids in our country have no musical education or training.

POPSMusic for the Brain Some people say that art and music are an impractical luxury for schools, given the hyper competitive demands of "globalization" that require a strong background in science and math. Laying aside the wrong-headed workforce-training assumptions behind such an instrumentalist educational philosophy, another way of looking at it is: given the "new economic" reality -- where workers won't have long-term jobs or careers but multiple jobs and careers -- the advantage goes to those with nimble minds and creative intelligence; not the proficient test-takers our education factories are producing. Improving the achievement gap? Raising test scores? Preventing kids from dropping out? We need more music education, not less. The math is simple.

POPSThe Music Of Nature The music of nature. Just hit the site to listen to a beautiful symphony of cricket songs. I just love sitting outside on the porch at night, enjoying a beer and some good company and listening to the symphonies and dramas of the insect world. Crickets (though they are somewhat creepy littte bugs to me) have one of the most relaxing sounds I know.... next to the sound of a beer being opened, that is. *LOL* ;)

POPSGlobal Consciouness & Data Driven Music This site deals with tracking global consciouness using the data gathered from little black boxes(REGs) in different places all over the earth. They taken data & had it generate music. Some pretty cool ways of perceiving consciousness. It looks as a race we're learning how to sing.

POPSMusic Instruction Increases Math & Reading Scores Another case for the need to put music & its concepts at the core of education. Music, math & I'll be so bold to assert numerology are languages inextricably connected to one another. Here's a quote by one mathematician regarding this statement, "Music is a secret arithmetical exercise and the person that indulges in it does not realize that he is manipulating numbers."- G Leibnitz

POPSMusic & Literacy:A Partnership I don't think people & the public in general understand how crucial music is to understanding & learning various ideas & concepts & how important it is to being a balanced individual contributing to society.

POPSThe Origins of Music An absolutely enlightening recorded lecture on why music affects us the way it does & how it is conveyed. I don't think I've ever read an article on the origins of music more fascinating than this. I guarantee you will not be disappointed in taking the time to read this short lecture by Rudolf Steiner. I'm a musician/singer/songwriter & through my life a question I've often been asked is, "Where do you get your ideas?" If you've asked this question too, please read this lecture. If you find it resonates with you'll know what to do next & "That's what it's all about!"

POPSMusical Mystery Tour-The Video If you're open to new ways of viewing numbers or understanding some of the oddities surrounding them you'll enjoy this clip. This to me is a demonstration of how a number of the ancients viewed their world. It was a material world governed by invisible forces(vibration). The book "The Secret Science of Numerology-The Hidden Meaning of Numbers & Letters" by Shirley Blackwell Lawrence is an excellent book for getting a deeper understanding of this wonderful science.
