When talking about adaptation in music finding good examples to spark conversation with #dpmusic students is so important because we want to guide students away from simply copying music. This track from @sofitukker is a great example!https://t.co/zmmhkgovRe
We were so lucky to have the wonderful guest artist, @JasmineGardosi in our music classes today and discussing how to unlock the magic of brainstorming, lyric writing, and performance techniques. @ishthehaguenl@Wrightstufmusic
Working in small groups yesterday, our Year 8 students showcased how beats are organized into patterns by creating their first sets of self-composed Adi Tala’s using #Konnakkol syllables. They also performed their works in a small sharing session. #mypmusic#composition#musiced
Tomorrow, I have first day of school in a new school. I’m reflecting about putting back on my #teacher hat and thinking of purposeful actions and words to start relationships with my new students to move forward into a positive year. #newkid#globaledu#newyear
This week in curriculum planning, we have been using the @BookCreatorApp to facilitate new learning experiences through our global context exploration of "languages and linguistic systems," as it applies to our world drumming unit for our year 8 students. @ishthehaguenl#ibmyp
Teaching isn’t just about the kids, it’s also about the amazing colleagues and collaborators that come into your life and shape who you become as an educator. I am leaving this team behind at AIS but will never forget how far we have come and what we learned from each other.
Feeling great to be back with @casieonline for my final MYP Arts Workshop in the the IB Americas. CASIE gave me the opportunity to be a workshop leader for the first time in 2018 and I am so thankful to be associated with such a wonderful community of educators. #mypmusic@ibmyp
Wow - what an amazing program for Spanish speaking Music Educators, this one is too good not to share, apply today! #fulbrightteach https://t.co/kq3ZJ7b2Kz
Listening to music is a beautiful thing. Appreciating music is a beautiful thing. Learning music is a beautiful thing and playing music is a beautiful thing. But teaching music…well, that’s just magical. Happy #WorldMusicDay2023!
June 12th is a day in American history that holds a special place in my heart. Before 1967 in Georgia, this moment would not have been possible. Thank you forever to Richard and Mildred Loving for fighting to end interracial marriage laws in the US. #LovingDay2023
Yesterday my school year ended with the best surprise from composer Reena Esmail @_heyitsreena_ for uploading a recording of the @AIS_Eagles Upper School Orchestra performing her work Acharanga on her website! https://t.co/cUY1SFxxjy
Excellent #songwriting#reflection of an #mypmusic student: "I feel like writing this song I got to be a machine which takes music from all of the places and spits out something new based on all of the musical contexts it's known while adding its own touch." #studentagency
The end of a school year always makes me feel #reflective about the growth of our music program and I feel thankful for all of the people who have made music making possible this year and what better way to say thank you than with a little pun… #musicteacher#givethanks
If you're looking for something silly and fun to do with your ensemble students towards the end of the year - check out this Orchestra Olympics game that I created using materials around my classroom. #orchestra https://t.co/sfXkpllbze
Spending some time listening to @GoGo_Penguin this morning and thinking instantly about the possibilities of teaching minimalism and motivic development with my students. #mypmusic#ideas#deeplistening https://t.co/jMKQ0VaWZg
Listening now to the @SmithsonianAPA project Bravespace, which is a compilation of original songs, sounds, and meditations composed by Asian American women and non-binary artists and musicians. #AAPIHeritageMonth https://t.co/sJyx7ypgG5
"Teachers, the impact you hold is infinite. One sentence you whisper, one little seed you plant can change a child’s trajectory."
Thank you @RebeckaMozdeh for highlighting the impact we can have in this profession in an open letter to all US Educators. #TeacherAppreciationWeek
