Hello David – Wow! What a blast from the past! I am so thrilled to hear from you and not at all surprised that you graduated from Cambridge, and very interested that you ended up choosing music.

I am this week in Chennai in India, so would rather wait till I get home in the middle of next week, before replying to you more fully. I would certainly be very interested to talk to you about your online work and discussing possible developments.

My email address is jenny.mackness@btopenworld.com. Could you send me your email address?

Really looking forward to catching up with you.

Jenny

Dear Jenny,

I’m sure you don’t remember me, but (I’m 99% sure) you were my year six teacher at St. Thomas’ School, Kendal in 1995-1996.

In the 16 years since then I read music at Cambridge and am now working at the Royal College of Music in London, where I teach students about new technology and help the College make use of it too.

I’m really pleased I’ve found your site, and I certainly have a lot of reading to do. Last year, both inspired by http://www.khanacademy.org and depressed by what seems to be a reduction in exposure to music education in the UK – I started an experiement at http://www.daveconservatoire.org, producing online videos and exercises. I’ve been really encouraged by the response and had around 4000 “students” in December.

I would be interested if you had any advice or feedback as I attempt to turn the site from a series of videos and exercises into something more dynamic and responsive to users. This is no replacement for a living breathing teacher, and I’m still experiementing with the right style for the teaching (I think I need to be much more informal and conversational), but I really see the value of (and enjoy!) producing resources like these for teachers to use or for those who aren’t fortunate enough to have access to one!

With best wishes,

David Rees

Dear Jenny Mackness,

I’m a student from austria, and I’m currently working on my master thesis about social media and learning at higher education.

Unfortunately, I didn’t found any contact of you, so I try this way. I would like to ask you some questions if you just could contact me on my blog (http://meandsocialsoftware.wordpress.com/) or per mail (pia_r@gmx.at).

I’m really looking forward to hear from you,
