Web sites

[amanfang]

What websites do you go to for resources/information on teaching (Pianoforum excluded)?

I'll start with a couple of my favorites:

www.pedaplus.com  - I like his teaching resources - flashcard games and whatnot.  There's also a pedagogy forum there, but it can be a lot slower as far as responses go. 

www.practicespot.com  - I enjoy the articles on here especially.  It's easy to read, and he has some different ways of approaching things.  There are also other resources on this page.

What else?
