Welcome Back!!

Welcome back to school!!!  It has been a terrific two days meeting new students and saying hello to familiar faces!  I am very much looking forward to the weeks ahead filled with music making!!  This is the beginning of my 21st year not only in Baldwin-Whitehall but of my teaching career and quite honestly the time has flown by.  I can hardly believe that my first students are working adults...one of the pharmacists at my pharmacy was once a student!!  Several of my colleagues were once my students--I couldn't be more proud! However, how can I be THAT OLD?!?!!?  Truly, working with the kids has been the greatest "fountain of youth."  I don't really feel much older (with the exception of some creaking sounds in my knees :-) because the kids are always so excited to learn or share something new.  Today was the first day of music for some of my students and I heard "I love this game--it's my favorite!" To see how excited my kindergarten students were to play shakers and the drums today...that's what it's all about.  Seeing (and hearing) the joy that music brings to a whole new generation is truly an amazing gift. I can't thank you enough for the opportunity to work with your children, and I can't wait to see what the year has in store for us.  The kids are always thinking of new ways to perform a piece or share a song that no two days are exactly alike and I often learn something new myself along the way.  Please check back so that you, too, can hear and see some of the creations from music class.  Here we go!!!
