We're off to a great start in #firstgrade #musicclass at #finneyelem in this third week of school! We love the @BearPawCreek stretchy band so much! @VAPA_CVESD #cvesdVAPA #musiceducation #orff #elementarymusic


We had a little time after our last sessions today to explore our nation's capital. Turns out it rains here. That surprised the San Diegans. #drippingwithpatriotism #KCAEC2023 #KCED @CETAatKC @Edrick_Rhodes


Thanks Danny Clay for an awesome #music and #reading workshop! "A letter is a drawing of a sound!" #KCAEC2023 #KCED @CETAatKC @Edrick_Rhodes


Audience Norms - Sherry Norfolk: 1. We must clap when you enter stage 2. We must pay attention to what we like about the performance 3. We must clap when you finish 4. We must tell you 3 good things 5. We must clap when you leave stage #KCAEC2023 #KCED @CETAatKC @Edrick_Rhodes

And we're back at it again this morning learning how to make our classrooms more dynamic for diverse learners through #storytelling with Sherry Norfolk! Love the sounds coming through the wall from the noisy music workshop next door 😆 #KCAEC2023 #KCED @CETAatKC @Edrick_Rhodes

Look closely. The lamp in my hotel room now has eyes thanks to @SamJayGold 's #puppetry workshop at #KCAEC #KCAEC2023. He gave me some great activity ideas! Watch out #finneyelem students! #MusicClass is going to have an influx of extra puppets next year! @CETAatKC @Edrick_Rhodes

Fantastic workshop with @StuartLStotts in classroom lyric writing. "What you want is to get the students in the habit of contributing because so many of them DON'T." #KCAEC #KCAEC2023 @CETAatKC @Edrick_Rhodes

E-F-F-O-R-T effort's what we hope you'll see! E-F-F-O-R-T in our work and play. #finneyelem #4thgrade #orff #sel #elementarymusic #musiceducation #CVESDarts @VAPA_CVESD


When some #6thgrade students come in asking to practice during lunch, but I'm teaching #1stgrade #musicclass, I get the big kids to give an impromptu performance! Everybody loved it! #BecauseofArtsEd #CVESDarts #VAPA #FinneyElem #MusicEd #Orff #jazz #MusicEducation @VAPA_CVESD

There goes #6thgrade doing amazing things! This piece is from #orff volume 1. We are getting ready for our first quarter performance with it. #VAPA #finneyelem @VAPA_CVESD
