When I decided what I would like to do with my life I could not stop thinking about the musical experiences I had in my grade school years, and how much fun I had. I could never imagine my life without music, and theatre. When I started teaching I wanted to build a solid program that students can feel comfortable in, and make sure that they are constantly around music. From the moment they walk through the door, I want them to enjoy everything that I had as a school-age child and more.
I would like students to be able to create music for their peers and feel proud of what they created.
I would like students to have an appreciation for ALL music, and understand that they SHOULD form their own opinions about the music that they listen to.
I would like students to have fun in music by moving to rhythms, and melodies in new and exciting ways. This will develop their ears and their use of beat patterns.
I would like students sharing their experiences with their parents and peers.
I would like to spread the joys of music that I have experienced wholeheartedly.
I would like to spread my knowledge of international music and have students understand that music is not all the same.
I want to make sure all students find a passion in music even if they are not very talented. I want to be able to help all students find their own talent in music and find a way to appreciate it and communicate their love of music.
