	New Brunswick infuses music into curriculum Home News Tribune Online
		It has been more than 20 years since New Brunswick schools last offered instrumental music instruction, but district officials hope that music lessons will create a feeder system for a far-reaching arts program at the new high school, which is scheduled to open in 2008 with an entire wing devoted to performing arts.
		The new New Brunswick High School is expected to open for the 2008-09 school year, and then the current high school on Livingston Avenue will be renovated and turned into a middle school.
		The new music program will begin with about 100 fourth- and fifth-graders at each school, while third-graders will get separate instruction on flutophones, an instrument similar to the recorder.

	Working Your Degree: Music - Nov. 3, 2000
		Music students at most colleges and universities elect an area of specialty early on -- vocal, strings, wind instruments or music education, which certifies students to teach on the elementary or secondary school level.
		Rachel Kramer, assistant executive director of the Music Teachers National Association, notes most who receive a bachelor of music degree go into music education — teaching in elementary and secondary schools. Pay levels, she notes, vary by geographic region but starting salaries range from $20,000 to $40,000.
		The assistant director of undergraduate studies at Yale University's music school said too many budding young performers, with dreams of playing for national orchestras, limit themselves to a bachelor's degree of music (BM), handed out by some of the top conservatory schools in the nation.

	Technology News: Personal Tech : Music Downloads Shift into High Gear
		Jupiter expects worldwide revenue from music downloads and subscription services to grow from $80 million in 2004 to $1.6 billion in 2008.
		While each of the alternate services does offer music for sale -- by the song and by the album -- they are primarily promoting subscriptions where users pay a monthly fee to listen to music.
		Another key to the success of iTunes -- according to most analysts -- is that the service provided users with the ability to play their music on different devices, a step that record labels had been loathe to endorse because they feared that it would contribute to illegal copying.
