Music, Teaching, Learning, and Life

I’m an elementary general music teacher who loves reading, writing, and learning.  I learned to love music from an early age.  I think my earliest musical memory is of my father singing “You Are My Sunshine” and “My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean”  as I stood beside him while he drove.  Lest anyone think he was negligent, that was before the age of carseats!  I also play clarinet (and piano, enough for the classroom).

This blog is a chronicle of thoughts and ideas related to music, teaching, learning, and performing from my own personal experiences.  Please feel free to comment.  I’d also like to learn from you!
