We have gotten the same response from the other teachers in the rotation as well. I need to apologize for the way I expressed myself during the singing to the metronome activity. You accomplished what you had hoped, you were slowly but surely dragging us all out of our comfort zones, I was just one of the slower ones. <br /><br />In all honesty nataliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01614863319764609326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23231577.post-35868484815656523342006-09-28T23:26:00.000-04:002006-09-28T23:26:00.000-04:00I love our seminar.

I have felt changed by our sessions, but I know some people are too self-concious to be willing to open up. That said, I can see progress has been made.

I want the students to make personal connections with the music, both in analysis and in aural dictations. But I also have to get through the material and must maintain some order in the classroom to do so.<br /><br />You may be interested to read the autobiographies and poems those students wrote at Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01286095156825716887noreply@blogger.com
