Day 150 - Music and My Comfort Zone


Although music has always been important to me and I even worked in a music related job for quite some time, teaching music is not something that is always fully within my comfort zone. It's why, a couple of years ago I put my hand up to train all the staff on the yearly Musica Viva sessions that lead up to a musical performing group visiting our school. Usually when I attend the teacher inservice, most of the attending teachers are music specialists and I do feel a bit out of my depth. Music has its own tech speak and it doesn't come naturally to me! When I pass on the training to our staff it is in everyday lay teacher talk and I hope that the other teachers like me, find it worthwhile. The above percussion instruments is one of my favourites and I used it when I did the teacher training at our meeting this afternoon. I don't actually even know what it is called :P
