Thanks for taking time to stop by my blog. This is going to be the place where I share my thoughts about my journey through the EMDT program at Fullsail. Along the way, I will be sharing with you about experiences that are taking place in my classroom everyday. Also, I will be sharing with you interesting things that I run across that might be of interest to you.
I would like to tell you about a moment that took place in my 7th grade band class Monday. As students were coming in the band room, I had a quote by Charlie Parker and his picture on the SMART board. When they were set up for rehearsal, I asked them to read it, think about it, then I asked several students to tell me what they thought that quote meant.
Charlie Parker's quote said: "Music is your own experience, your thoughts, your wisdom. If you don't live it, it won't come out of our horn."
And Austin responded with this: "Music is a way of life.....if shapes you and makes you stronger."
So just remember, no matter hard you try to reach your students, remember there will always be those who will be impacted by everything you do. So keep up the good work!!
