Minstrels: Sing Your Way Home
We haven't found time to practice this in three lessons but some of you may want to learn it for a closing song. I have never found the notes or the guitar chords for it and I don't even remember where I learned it. However, its amazing what Google can find. Here is a midi version that is probably more musically correct than mine: try singing along until the tune is familiar to you. Also, there is a version on YouTube here but the words go by too fast unless you already know them. If anyone plays the guitar well enough by ear to share the chords with me, I would be delighted.

Finding my inner creative self
As if just trying to figure out the stylized letters to regiser were not enough.
I do not know if many of you are wrestling with a large number of ideas and thoughts about ways to both teach the arts and to integrate the arts into our lessons. I am finding it difficult to sort out and organize my thoughts although I am aware that I must do so in the immediate future. My hope is that my next entry will occur after I have injected some order into all of these ideas.
I was encouraged when someone emailed today to say that he's looking forward to our recorder lesson tomorrow! Thanks!
No order required...it's a banquet, no a meal. You are not expected to "digest" it all right now. I am providing as much as I can - kind of a "shotgun" approach - in the hopes of finding ways to engage and interest all of you. Teachers are faced with complexity all the time, and have to create their own order. The skill of coping with amibiguity is even more important for school administrators. Here are a couple of ways to do it...Follow up a few ideas that excite you, or Choose to focus in your strongest or your weakest arts area, or choose one idea from each arts area, or choose an overarching concept from all the arts areas, e.g. How to cultivate creativity across the curriculum. OK, I had better stop, but I hope you get the idea.
