Independent Project Begins

Today is Day 1 of the Summer Institute and so I am launching into my independent project.  It is also a day to meet other Summer Institute music colleagues who are participating in other sessions. There is so much value in talking -- especially face-to-face -- with other music educators.  It's not so lonely out there!

Here is what my work station looks like:

Notice the suitcase of old audiotapes... I'm finding some oldies-but-goodies here!

I am just beginning to figure out the process for transferring my audiotapes to .mp3 files.  I know there is an expert here at the institute:  Adam Podd, who can help me work with some of these old tapes to make them sound better in a digital format.  I will just be happy to have them accessible once they are transferred and available in my iTunes Library!
