@mrjstrand Thank God you and your family are OK!

Congratulations to Rian! She finished Recorder Karate Book 2! My students are required to play two songs per belt, so...two books = a lot of songs! Great job Rian! #gocrickets #recorderkaraterocks

Got to meet the wonderful music educator, Dr. John Feierabend! His #firststepsinmusic and #conversationalsolfege curriculums are fantastic! His method has greatly inspired my teaching! #fame #feiernerd #gocrickets

Oh. My. Goodness. This guy just earned his gold belt and finished Recorder Karate 2! He’s played 37 songs just in the last four months of 4th grade! Final song: Eine Kleine Nachtmusik by Mozart! Amazing job Bryson! #gocrickets #recorderkarate #elementarymusic

@msmusiced I did see those posts. And those are the ones I ignore. Do you follow #feierabendfundamentals? This FB group is positive and inspiring!

[Christine Ott @ChristineOtt3]

@MrsGrondin @msmusiced Where is this snobbery happening? In my area of the country, music teachers are “singletons.” I like my music teachers friends in neighboring towns! One of the professors at the local university arranges gatherings for us and we share ideas and have great discussions!

[Christine Ott @ChristineOtt3]

@msmusiced Music teacher groups on Facebook are not the worst! I’ve learned so much from the hundreds of posts I’ve read over the years. Most elementary music teachers are generous, kind & more than willing to share ideas & give sound advice. If there is a negative post, I scroll right by!

[Christine Ott @ChristineOtt3]

Wow! Third black belt in Recorder Karate in 4th grade! Great job Logan! #gocrickets #elementarymusic #recorderkarate

Another Black Belt recorder player this week! Congrats Bryson! You worked really hard! #gocrickets #elementarymusic
