It's amazing, teaching is. At times, I am very excited about current activities and look forward to participating in very exciting projects. Conversely, there are moments that ignite feelings of frustration and sadness. I suppose this is life and it's about treasuring those special moments, when they occur with enjoyment and fun; and respond to the not so nice moments with charm and patience. What is important to remember is that our students do appreciate our positive energy and respond better when we show interest and care in their work and development.
I have discovered some interesting articles that inspire my lessons. One such article shared rules to success in the music business. The first rule I shared with one of my classes today because it captured my interest. The article suggested that whenever we are involved with music, we should bring our "A" game effort to the activity. I could tell with the silence in the class that my added comments about this suggestion struck a nerve with all of them.
The class unfolded smoothly and I believe it was due to this brief presentation.
Bye for now
