I love seeing graduated students return this week before christmas, now that they've finished one semester of uni. So special to see them again 🌟

The HS Orchestra had a great time performing for our Kindergarten classmates last week! Precious connections and musical memories ❤️✨🎶 @SFS1912 #InspiringExcellence https://t.co/yrHcwjCz7K

favorite thing to do when starting a new unit: visit the school library!

Looking for a recording of Wendy Carlos's "Switched-On Bach"? I was too! https://t.co/xuPJk3wdgf

PSA: always ask the librarian. Every time I ask @LibraryLauren1 "Hey, could you help me find this thing?" because I couldn't find it.... she finds it and sends it my way.

Back at it again, using Mickey Mousing to make little mp4s while exploring sound effects in video games for #MYPMusic https://t.co/q6X0CJkJxC

[Emmalee Johnson (she/her) @MusicalEmmalee]

It's that time of year again! We're learning about #soundeffects, #mickeymousing, underscoring, and composing for moves/tv/videogames. Check out what I made, inspired by mickey mousing! https://t.co/FnW6ykliwb

Excited about this #PersonalProject product! #NowPlaying https://t.co/dj6QfI3nXZ

I've got a lot of appreciation for the student council who made our first day back from break a PAJAMA DAY for spirit week. Just the best.

Unfortunately sick at home today, but happy to be working on violin 3 parts and listening to Sufjan Christmas while the snow comes down

[Emmalee Johnson (she/her) @MusicalEmmalee]

@DalanieHarris Yellowcard having violin in the group was groundbreaking to me at the time. Similar was Flobots having viola. These examples definitely made me feel a little cooler as a teen string player!

It was inspiring to work with Jonathan Mann this week and to see him make music with @SFS1912 students! What a joy to hear their sounds and work with an expert.

[Emmalee Johnson (she/her) @MusicalEmmalee]

In giving feedback on a student paper I just conferred with 5 colleagues to find the term for a compositional tool. That was a fun little investigation and I love that about teaching #IBMusic - I don't want to be (or pretend to be) the expert about everything. It's fun to learn!

*NSYNC's "Home for Christmas" is a hill I'm willing to die on. It's a legitimate gem of musical talent and expression. #UnpopularOpinion?

I'm using resources from https://t.co/y6phVj4pU8 to make my current unit on Korean Music accessible for myself and my students who aren't as familiar with Korean language. Huge thank you to Karissa VanLiew for this amazing work!

[Emmalee Johnson (she/her) @MusicalEmmalee]

We're preparing for some international arrivals today here at @SFS1912. So excited to get this APAC #OrchestraFestival started! Join us on Saturday @ 5:30 KST https://t.co/rVhyeKQpfy

It's about to get a little louder in the #MYPMusic room!!! #한국음악

[Emmalee Johnson (she/her) @MusicalEmmalee]

I love it when students ask for music recommendations. "Ms. Johnson, can you recommend a song about heartbreak?" of course - https://t.co/HlivM9xiJM

I'm noticing that without structure on giving and receiving feedback, my MYP 4/5 is being much more conversational. They are aware that I'm observing and using this as data for their ATL assessment, but they have the choice of how to give and receive feedback! #GreatSurprise
