		<description>Nice. Thanks for this post. Your thoughts and ideas are great music teaching resources that can surely help most music teachers out there particularly in motivating our students in music. Keeping them engaged and interested in music lessons may be quite challenging as there can be lots of external and internal factors that can destruct them - losing their interest and focus on the lesson or activity. Thanks again and more power.  Til your next post! Happy Holidays!</description>

		<description>Music does help students do better in school.  I&#039;m a firm believer!  It tremendously helps with memorization, as we all know, and enhances one&#039;s life in every way possible!</description>

		<description>wow! Thanks for sharing. I enjoyed reading your article on yoga and singing.  I am a yogi myself, and find that yoga is a really great tool to improve the voice coming from our throat chakra.  Swimming is another great way to help strengthen the lungs therefore our voices.  Thanks again!</description>

		<description>Wow. This is really a very nice and inspiring post. Thanks for sharing the article to your readers. I certainly agree when you say that we should never underestimate the power of music. Music is universal. Music is dynamic. I even personally have experienced and encountered many issues and events of medical miracles through music therapy as well as the importance of music education on the development and socialization of different individuals. I always feel glad whenever I encounter people who have the same passion and love for music like what I actually have. I also admire your efforts to share your bright ideas and inspiring stories on music education - lending a hand to make a difference.  I am looking forward to read your posts on the latest and most effective music teaching resources so as to motivate more and more music teachers out there. Keep up the good work, my friend and more power. Cheers! See you around.</description>

		<description>Great article! For even more inspiration I would recommend listening to a contemporary master of scat singing, Audrey Shakir at http://www.audreyshakir.com/live/  It&#039;s a thrill to listen to a singer who can express herself through the lyrics and who is also a full-fledged soloing member of the band.</description>

		<description>Jason is an awesome musician and a great performer, but his best trait is his passion for music. His latest 2 albums have far-surpassed the &quot;sophomore slump&quot;, and he has done a fabulous job helping to spread Music through education and his own.
