Introduction

The mission behind this blog is for me to share with other music teachers and my local community what is happening in my music classroom! I’m constantly learning new ideas and techniques to bring to my students and I want to share with you the good, the bad, and the ugly. Sometimes a lesson may be a hit, sometimes it may flop and I want to be transparent and share how I get through those times. My teaching philosophy best aligns with that of Dr. John Feierabend and I’ve been certified in both First Steps in Music and Conversational Solfege. I’m in my second year of teaching First Steps and trying out Conversational Solfege for the first time this year. I’m already making tweaks as I go along and seeking feedback from other music educators. Here are a few resources to check out for more information on both First Steps and Conversational Solfege:
