Good start to school year

I am satisfied with my start to this new school year because I am trying-out new ideas.  I also enjoy reinforcing these concepts and feel that it is getting real good results.  I believe the creative focus is the way to go.  Also, I am encouraging more sight reading, more listening, more attention to developing good practice routine and reinforcing good habits.

My return to a new school year

Well, I'm back into the rhythm of a new school year!  Last week, I completed the first week and it was successful.  I am very fortunate because I teach / work in a wonderful community and the school offers interest and challenge to my life.  I enjoy attending this fine school and look forward to another exceptional year.
This year we have a new principal and I look forward to working with him.  I'm equally excited about some upcoming projects, such as presenting Peter and wolf collaborating with the dance department. Also, I am exploring some other partnership opportunities that will certainly inspire me.
Another source of inspiration for me is R. Murray Schafer book of exercises and activities, where i intend to try-out some of his ideas in the classroom.  His exercises make one think and invite creative solutions.
