I recently submitted an article to the OMEA Quarterly Journal and it was published. I have also submitted another article which the editor has indicated she plans to include in the summer edition of the "Recorder" journal. I am excited about this new found desire to write and contribute articles. I write about my experiences in the classroom as a music educator. I think that the ideas I share are good ones. These strategies have been tested by me as I use these activities or methods / activities in my teaching daily. My themes are about practicing music, learning music, developing music understanding and more. For example, I truly support improvisation and sight reading as important components to teaching - and these must be explored daily. Another feature I support is learning a new phrase daily and a new tune every week.
I have thought about writing in other areas not related to music. I hope that I do get started on these topics in the near future. For example, I want to write about my father and also an autobiography.
Thanks!
