I get ideas every now and again about themes and topics I would very much like to include and enter into this blog, but time seems to fly by without being able to accomplish this task on a regular basis. One idea that does pop into my head is about music teachers and how passionate they are about their programs. Unlike other disciplines, such as English or math or science, music teschers appear to be very serious about promoting their programs and increasing their numbers and sections. If I use myself as an example, I dedicated time to arranging concerts, attending festivals, creating opportunities for field trips and excursions, recordings, and community performances, performing for assemblies, attending meetings with administration to convince them about the need for more money to support all these great initiatives for the students, the school community and beyond!
indeed, it was serious work and we did it and continue to do it because we have a passion for the music and a passion for the program. Like captain Kirk, from star trek, nothing is more important than your command, your ship!
