1.
What is The Sinfonian Tattler?
The Tattler is dedicated to helping alumni Sinfonians once
again become aware and active in the realm of Sinfonian ideals.
We work kinda-but-not-too-hard to provide you with the facts
and tid bits that foster that fraternal spirit. It's all the
stuff you would've pulled together on your own--but didn't!

2.
When is the next issue coming out?
Each new issue of The Sinfonian Tattler will be posted around
the first of the month. We’re not sure yet whether that
means every month, every other month, or whenever we feel
like it, but rest assured you will be notified every time
it happens.

3.
Can I get a hardcopy of The Sinfonian Tattler?
If you have a printer hooked up to your computer. Right now,
we have no plans to send out copies of the Tattler via snail
mail. This would cost money. Of which we have none. So for
the time being we will only post the newsletter on our website.
The idea is for it to be in HTML (and possibly pdf) so that
you can view it on your computer or print it out and see the
exact same thing and not miss one iota of thrilling Tattler
news.

Sort of. We won't send it to you, but you're more than welcome
to come and get it. We don't promote spam and we hate sending
stuff out that might clog people's in-boxes. So if you click
here, you can send us your email address and we'll send
you a short message everytime we post another thrilling issue
of The Sinfonian Tattler.

Submission
Guidelines
So,
you think you got what it takes to type away for the Tattler?
Bring it meat! But before you write your whole life story
(as thrilling as it may be) here are some pointers for your
piece:
A. Just Pitch It
We don't care what writing awards you have collecting dust
on your mantel. We do care about what you know and what you
can share. So try pitching us an article idea that you think
is quintessentially Tattler-esque. If you "get it,"
then we'll ask for more and send you specs on submitting your
piece. So before you write it all out, let us know what you
have rattling around in your head.
B. Give It to Us Straight, No Charts
A lot of people and schools are doing research into music
education and arts programs. These are interesting, and certainly
can be used as ammo for the war against the various "music
program haters" out there. But we plan to keep this kind
of stuff to a bare minimum. If you see a neat article about
some new research and want to share it, try and pick one aspect
of it and give it an alumni slant. We're not here to lobby
Congress. We're here to take a look at music education through
an alumni Sinfonian's perspective.
C.
Don't Do It...
We'll try to keep the venting to a minimum. We're trying to
become a strong and noble voice for information and positive
change in music education. So don't send us pieces on a specific
school somewhere pooh-poohing on something. Unless you have
lots of similar cases like it to support a trend or some other
news worthy event.
Keep your political opinions to yourself please.
