Thursday, January 17 I have a very well prepared student teacher. He has jumped in and is taking over with confidence and skill. Everyone should have a students teacher at some point. I have started remembering all of the little things I used to do to make life easier. Today it is transferring sleep position, ready position, playing position from first grade rhythm sticks to fourth grade precorder. - sleep position (instruments on the floor, no sound) - ready position (with sticks it was on the knees, no sound; with pecorders it is at the chin no sound.) - playing position (time to play)
