This week Gannon and Stephen talk about making music related websites for those with only basic computer skills. they talk about embedding sound files and sheet music using MuseScore and Soundcloud and developing websites with Weebly. We have included a video on how to embed files as mentioned in this website on freemusiced.org as a part of this post.

We are going to be delaying this week's podcast until Friday. We had the opportunity to interview Thomas Bonte, CEO of Musescore, founder of Wikifonia,org, and member of the "Open Goldberg Variations" Project. This podcast was amazing, and we're working to get it edited together, it's just taking some time.
In addition, we are moving our future release dates to Thursdays. This is a great deal easier for our schedules and should result in more polished podcast. Also, we have new theme music coming this week!!! It was composed by Dillon Phillips and is awesome. Ever make mistakes? Well don't make these. In this podcast we sit down and discuss professionalism, personal assessment and understanding you place in any musical situation.
In this week's podcast we talk to Lance Beaumont, director of the music department at Northwest Christian University and distance adjunct professor for Howard Payne University. In this interview we talked about their unique program, teaching lessons through video conferencing, the future of the music business as well as general practicing techniques and the benefits of class guitar in a public school setting. Here are some of the resources mentioned in this podcast: Lance Beaumont's Webpage and blog Robert D. Smith "20,000 days and counting" Think Music Technology

Okay, I'm experimenting with amplifying the source file for the podcast. I'm going to start with Episode 8 and then amplify all new podcast and see if that works better, or if I wind up with clipping. Let me know if you're hearing with things, or if the file is too quiet.
