I am pleased to announce that I have another school arranged for tomorrow! I have contacted teachers I know, and from 6-7 emails sent, I now have a second school interested. Today, we are testing the link connection to work-out and resolve any technical issues. This particular presentation will be a one hour presentation, different than the first one I completed, where that first school involved teaching and adjudicating. I hope that I continue to get similar invitations, so I plan to contact more people.
(Dec 12). I think the session was very successful. I enjoyed it immensely. The performance was effective, where I added some new tunes, but mainly using the same routine I designed for the first school. The Q & A section actually ran past the time; it was also very enjoyable, the questions posed were really good, talking about music, music practicing, the accordion, the music arrangement I designed, etc.
I think I’m on to something that can develop into more connections. I have a nice package, offering entertaining and learning. I include a listening guide and there is student participation by asking questions. I think it really ties in well to the curriculum - supporting some expectations. It involves listening, appreciating, and the power of music to bring people together to talk about life and stories. I am inviting the two schools to prepare a letter that I can share in the future with other clients. The testing session prior to the actual day is an important component to this. Also, there is power outages in my area, so I have been fortunate that we did not have to re-schedule. But, this feature is also important, to have an alternate day in case of sudden changes required.
