This is the sixth installment and final installment of the This Week In Music Podcast series created by the 7th Grade General Music Students in my First Marking Period at the Franklin Avenue Middle School in Franklin Lakes, NJ. Two students per group are charged with finding important musical events and birthdays that occur during their assigned week.

We'll be back with more podcasts in the coming marking periods as well. This has been a very successful project.

Your comments, questions, and suggestions are welcome.
