Audrey - "Why is music Education important?"
Great use of slides, the pictures clearly conveyed what you were speaking about.  I would put the quote on a slide, just to maintain focus on the presentation, because you had to read it (perfectly acceptable).  You covered ALOT in a SHORT period of time. I would slow down, or pick the most important. I think If you had more time this would be perfectly in depth. You hit every important point I could think of and more.

Gabe- "Music Education and the community"
Great topic, contains more than you may think. Trust yourself that you know what is next. When you were reading you seemed stressed, and used the word umm a lot. When you embellished on your own, you had much more fluency in the presentation, which was nice. As it went on, you seemed to figure it out. School, Town, Professional. Great points about the central office. You had a really comfortable feeling in front of the class, which transferred into your audience. Yay Gabe.

Adam-"Drum Corps"
Nice, funny beginning. DCI and WGI. Very Interesting Topic. I did not know much about Drum Corps, and I feel like I know enough now to talk about it. The extreme discipline is insanity. Demonstrating things like snakes and drills helped us "non band" folks understand. I don't have many notes because I watched more of your presentation. Which is Good.

Becky- "Braille Music"
This topic just blew my mind. Valved, Vocal, Piano, Percussion. Technically, Any Instrument. You could definitely look up more. You know what you are talking about, just go with it. I'm glad you focused on equality for all. I would've liked some numbers on teachers who know this and schools that use this. Great overall presentation.

Tessa- "Suzuki Method"
I'm glad you are teaching from experience. I think the best advocate is one who has been involved. The theory of Mother Tongue sparked my interest. I wish you would've went more in depth on that. Overall great, in depth presentation. Sorry I don't have more notes. I've been interested in Suzuki for years and wanted to pay attention.

Jamie- "Kodaly"
Nice research. You can tell you studied up on your topic. Lighten up, it's a music presentation. You know music. Relax and be comfortable. Definitely had room for more slides per each section. Think of each topics as a paragraph in a larger essay. They should relate, but each is it's own entity and deserves the attention of such. Nice ending to sum it up.

Kristen- "Online Music Education'
You are so well prepared. The presentation itself was great, but your knowledge and memory of it was fantastic. The fact that you had notecards but didn't use them is fantastic. Again, not many notes because I was thoroughly invested in the presentation. This presentation just supports everything we do in this class. Great presentation, especially to give to Music Education students who aren't as fortunate as us and don't take this class. Great Job.
