I love that your mentor teacher let you lead the classroom; I think it really engages you and lets your feel more like a teacher!

The second to last to the concert middle school band rehearsal went pretty good! I loved how they responded to my mentor teacher’s conducting. I hope they do well!!!

Last week we were preparing for upcoming middle school concert; I can see the improvements, however there is still some things that the atudents need to polish. But they will definitely get it!!
Last week I didn’t go to my school; instead, I went to Madison, WMEA conference! It was very nice to come back and learn new things that will help me in the future when I’m a Music teacher! #EDU310
@MsCarvis_SpEd I am glad your first observation went well! I wonder if the other four students have something going on in their lives. However, I can’t wait for mine observation that is coming soon! #EDU310
#EDU310 I love helping out the percussion section and teaching new stuff to the percussionists! Last week I taught how to do the “flam” on percussion and helped with tricky rhythms. I love seeing progress!!!
@MsCarvis_SpEd I think it is pretty fun to play some old games in class sometimes to change things up (as long as it fits in the unit or there’s extra time!). #EDU310

I felt amazing during my last observation! Why? Because the students finally “got” how to get a sound on the flute! It’s been a long time, but they finally overcame the hurdle and it makes me so proud!!!
I am a bit sad that my middle school band class I am observing are rehearsing for only 40 minutes in the school’s cafeteria; I hope the school understands that it is not the most efficient way for the students to learn. #EDU310
@MissTorkelSax Nice! It builds your classroom managements skills A LOT. That being said, I can’t wait to go to my middle school band placement tomorrow and play with the students!! #EDU310
I love seeing progress so much! During my observation today, I helped out the flutes to get out a sound; It is still tricky for them to do so but it’s getting better - I remember myself when I was a beginner and how I struggled at first too. Practice makes perfect! #EDU310
@BrockLund4 That's great! I need to learn how to use all the electronic stuff myself but now it takes wayyy longer than before - I think I am getting old... #EDU310
Overall, my first two days of observation classes went pretty well! I realized it is quite challenging to teach students different instruments and be successful during the first lessons... BUT! You also learn with your students! So that's nice. #EDU310
