Wow! If that's the excitement Robyn's in store for on her visit to Texas, I can't wait to hear her trip report. And to think I was jealous of Theresa's trip.
And this is pretty much how it is all over our area. And one of the many reasons I am not teaching in public schools anymore.
Most children and their parents don't remember music teachers...
However, tonight at rehearsal, the director of the BLS program at UMW came up to me to ask if I had been his music teacher in elementary school. That is second young man this month who remembered me from 30 or more years ago! I have to say, that made my decade!
Good morning Tammi and Robyn! Good morning DDA!
Elin, I completely agree with Robyn. I remember my elementary and middle school music teachers fondly, and still keep in touch regularly with my high school and college choral directors! They are some of the most important friends that I have in my life!
I know everyone learns how to play the recorder. I can not recall what grade that starts in.
In third grade they offer Orchestra- Violin, Viola, Cello, Upright Bass
In 4th-6th they also offer band- Flute, Clarinet, Alto Saxophone, Trumpet, Trombone, French Horn, Oboe, Baritone, Tuba, and Snare and Bass Drum In Junior high they offer more instrument choices.
This is during the school day. They pull kids out of regular class for a lesson once a week.
well they think Ike is going to hit around Port Aransas where my Aunts live. They are also saying we could get wind gusts here anywhere from 50 to 90 MPH
This really saddened me. I can vividly remember my elementary music and band teachers and how their love for music made my schools days much richer. And the one teacher that I remember most from HS is my old band director. He just had a way with all of us that truly left a mark on me and a bunch of my friends, evident by the turn out at his retirement party this summer. 's to you.
We are lucky that Emma's school district has a great music program. She has music 2x week and now she has violin 1x week during regular instruction time. Her school also offers a chorus program as well. And it's been this way since I was in school, my elementary school is in the same county.

I never learned to play one, don't even know what it is. And as far as I know, no one after me learned to play one either.
This is what a recorder looks like, Heidi! It is the perfect beginning instrument for a child.
Did you hear the rumor about the box in Virginia? The one where the box is not going anywhere for a few days because the sender can't find time to breath, let alone wrap it and get it to the post office? I think it's supposed to go out this weekend though.
Holy crap, Deb. That thing is huge! Great, but huge! Yes, the window looks fine. You did an amazing job.
I hope you are all having a good week.
My Grandpa is in the hospital.
I am off to bed, night all.
Nick went to bed an hour before his bedtime complaining that he was tired and his ear hurt. I gave him a sudafed and ibuprophen so hopefully he'll wake up all better.
I would love to do that, but apparently, the people who lived here before us were giants!!! The peephole is way over my head. I can't even look out of it if I'm standing on my toes. No windows near the door, either. Bummer, huh?
