All-State

I just got back from my all state music teacher conference and I have to say, every year it refreshes me to be a better teacher. I am filled with new ideas and motivation to be more like some of the people I saw present. Granted, there is always a feeling of "how are they able to do all this amazing stuff and I can barely..." Still, I am filled with new things and new energy to be a better teacher. Watch out students. I have stuff to try!

I had a kid flip the word excited with erection today. I couldn't keep from laughing.

Kid: "Mrs. B. this move is so cool it makes me so erection."

I had to walk away.

True story. Girl:Mrs. B your makeup is pretty. Boy: What's wrong with your eyes? Did you get hurt?

This past Sunday I went back to me and starting to sing again. Sing again you say? You sing every day as part of your job. This is true but, those songs are for children, explain music on a basic level, and are wonderful for those in developmental ages around 5-10. I love my job but, it does not do one thing for sure. Help me grow as a musician.
It is a small, semi-pro, a capella ensemble that sings on the north side and they are lovely. It was a little scary to start singing again. Kyle already sang with this group so that made it a little easier to join in.We are singing some really hard music too. I am so excited to flex my vocal chords and sing "grown up" music again. I feel a little more like me.
