Educational Philosophy: |
|||||
|
Teaching is a way of repaying the debt I owe to all of my past and present teachers; the ones who have taught, trained, and mentored me. Also, Each child has great potential within him/herself, and I feel it is a teacher's job to put the child in touch with this greatness. |
|||||
|
Approach: |
|||||
|
I expose learners to a wide variety of music and ways to "enter" that music: singing, creating lyrics, playing simple instruments, using sign language, moving, dramatizing, etc. I encourage children to respond to what inspires them. |
