RE: Musely: My Music Education Pipe Dream.

in #education7 years ago

Although you make excuses for your video, I think it is a very good one, and love the animations and the bit of humour in it as well. The branding, like it also very much, somehow the little harp looks to me as an individual looking out into the far distance standing at the end of some pier; Did you had that in mind? Although I like the idea to educate in real life, on location, I certainly hope you can somehow find ways to create an online way of education. I realise it'll take more funds and time initially due to creation of good videos and material. Maybe Steemit can be a source of income to fund this?

Hello @qsounds, thank you for the kind words. I hadn't intended for the harp to look like someone looking out over a pier, but I'm happy with the interpretation. Educating on location will be my first step; I will be looking to slowly build up a portfolio of education (if you will) and maybe utilise blockchain technology to fund it - there are various education-based blockchains that I am currently looking into. A website would be the final goal, but we will see how it all goes. My main goal will be as an artist, but I see no reason why I cannot also be some form of teacher alongside my performing. Steemit may go someways as to funding it but, as it stands, it is just nice to have an audience and someway to express my progress. Thanks again, I hope that you keep reading.

What blockchains you find interesting for education purposes?

The three that I have found thus far are ODEM.IO, Blockchain.open.ac.uk, and BitDegree. But all are fairly underdeveloped and don't span into music tuition; the arts are always the last to be integrated it seems - I have lost so much work from music being 'last in, first out'.

If I do intend on developing an educational service, to a serious degree, I will put Musely on Steemit and see if it builds any traction. I would certainly have the time to blog about the foundational topics of music in order to teach those that are just starting out. I just have not the time nor the money in order to produce the standards I beleive such a project deserves.

I'll have a look into the blockchains you mentioned, never heard of any of the three, so it'll be interesting to check them out.

Yeh, I know what you like to get to with the standards you like to have. That would be awesome, and I think it is indeed also very important when bringing something to the market, it also looks good, next to all the good content of course.

Steemit is indeed a great place to bring some of your knowledge to a wider audience. And at the same time, you can earn some money with it and build some new connections.
