Welcome
to the first issue of Newsletter! It seeks to provide quality
information on music education, lessons, and relative curriculum.
In addition, each issue will contain a feature story, music
reviews and relative commentaries, local music performances,
amateur and professional musicians' network, and readers'
comments. My hope is to engage in monthly intellectual discussions
that will delight, enlighten, and inspire people of varied
musical tastes and interests. As seen, the first issue is
dedicated to my experiences as a Fulbright Scholar in Poland. |

view, the Newsletter is broad in scope as it aims to promote

Teaching in Poland |
|
When
people, whether Polish or American, learn of my presence
in Polska as a Fulbright Scholar, the first question asked
is, "Are there any differences in teaching Polish and
American students? Another question is, What changes have
I made in my teaching preparation and deliver when speaking
to Polish students? Are Polish students fluent enough in
the English language to comprehend a university-level course?

Fulbright in Poland |
| As
many of you know, I have the distinguished honor and pleasure
of teaching at the University of Marie Curie Sklodowskiej
in Lublin, Poland as a Fulbright Scholar. Duly noted as
America's flagship program for intercultural and international
exchange of higher education, ". . .the Fulbright Program,
named in honor of Senator J. William Fulbright, was established
by the U.S. Congress and signed into law by President Harry
Truman on August 1, 1946. . . In addition to scholarly and
professional exchanges in the asrts and humanities, jurisprudence
and the human sciences, agriculture and engineering, current
Fulbrighters also teach, conduct research, and disseminate
information or work on projects in environmental studies,
information technologies, economics and finance, and strengthening
civil societies. Fulbrighters are the core of the international
production and exchange of knowledge and technologies, and
the Program's success is measured by their record of continuous
contributions" (Handbook for American Fulbright
Grantees, 2005-2006).
I would like to share some of my wonderful
experiences of Poland through pictures. By no means do these
pictures fully represent the scope of Polish society. I
hope they do, however, provide a glimpse of Polish culture
that will encourage you seek out and experience the beauty
that I have had the priviledge in doing. To view
