A4) I absolutely LOVE watching my students learn something new!! When students master a new skill or perform a piece of music particularly well, I love seeing the joy and excitement on their faces! #lrnchat

Q4) What's it like watching someone learn something new? Think of your kids, parents, colleague, friend. #lrnchat

Q3) How did you learn it? School? Self-directed? Books, videos, formal instruction?

Here's something for your little ones to enjoy at home! I made this video for my youngest students. In it, I read/sing John Langstaff's book Over in the Meadow. I hope you and your families all stay healthy and happy! https://t.co/GDS6ZkoeoU
