<p>I'm new to Merlot and to the music board (still finishing up Grape camp before the Wed. 3/21/13 meeting!).</p>
<p></p>
<p>I'm interested in Merlot's potential from several perspectives:</p>
<p>1. Potential to conduct research projects with other Merlot board members. (with some aspect of Merlot or Merlot materials as a dependent variable).</p>
<p></p>

<p>1. Potential to conduct research projects with other Merlot board members. (with some aspect of Merlot or Merlot materials as a dependent variable).</p>
<p></p>
<p>2. Potential to use Merlot with my college students (music in general studies; also music education students).</p>
<p></p>
<p>3. I've also been thinking about ways that Merlot's music listings can be kept relevant and current.</p>
<p>I do understand and value that Merlot web links are expert-reviewed and vetted. However, I also wonder if we might be able to augment and update the listings by involving our students. For example, music education students need experience in locating and evaluating websites for their own pre-service teaching (and I believe there are many instructional websites for pre-college music teachers). Might students in our own programs be a source of "junior" reviewers and website sources/seekers? </p>
<p></p>
<p>4. I understand it, the Music Editorial Board is just now being re-energized. I am wondering what our primary initial long and short term goals and priorities are. </p>
<p></p>
<p>Perhaps all of this will become clearer to me as I come to understand Merlot better.</p>

<p>My name is José Rodríguez Alvira. I'm part of the Music Editorial Board since 2006. In that year my web site teoria.com received the MERLOT Classic Award in Music and I was invited to be part of the music editorial board.</p>
<p>I teach at the Conservatory of Music of Puerto Rico since 1983. I began teaching classical guitar and since the 90's I began teaching music theory and technology (Finale, SIbelius) classes. Lately I mainly teach theory and technology classes and take care of our computer lab and CMS (Moodle) administrator.</p>
<p>My second job is as web master of teoria.com. I have been working on this music theory related web site since 1997. We have numerous interactive music theory and ear training exercises available online as well as tutorials, reference and music related articles. The exercises use Adobe Flash but since Apple decided not to use Flash we have been creating HTML5 / Javascript versions of the exercises. We are little by little moving from Flash to HMTL5 although I still believe Flash is a great tool.</p>
<p>In the last years our exercises are being used by many universities and schools in the states and in other countries. Teachers are able to supervise their students and they receive weekly reports of their students activities.</p>
<p>I studied at our Conservatory and in France at L'Ecole Normale and at Aubervilliers Conservatory. I'm glad that the music Editorial Board is once again alive and I'm looking forward to be working with you all!</p>
