        <Name>Music Education Madness -- Doing Musical Theater Plays on a high school level</Name>
        <Summary>A call from one of the top websites on Music Education</Summary>
        <Description>&lt;p&gt;Yesterday I received a wonderful call from the people at Music Education Madness. It's as they say:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font face="Arial"&gt;Teaching the Wonders of Music and Surviving It with a Smile On Your Face&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Arial"&gt;Music Education is so important in this day and age. Part of that music education can be reinfoced by performning a musical theater play. Pioneer Drama Service offers tons of resources, including musicals for middle schools and high schools, that can be part of a musical education program.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Arial"&gt;I have co-written a number of musicals that have been extremely popular. Below are places you can explore that include some of my musicals, as well as valuable resources when working in musical education for the elementary schools, middle schools and high schools.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</Description>
