I was truly blessed to get to spend four full days with really nice people. Not only that, they were exceptional early childhood music teachers too! I was in awe of the achievements of everyone in the room. The things I learned were fine details about the Music Together program and my teaching. When to breathe, how to keep the flow of asymmetric rhythm patterns going, what makes a song in swing meter instead of duple, details about modal tonal patterns, and very specific points about Music Together's philosophy. I was surprised at how stressful and emotional the whole experience was. I was also blessed by how nice and uplifting everyone was to each other. We all wanted to back each other up, and we did. The twelve teachers who were invited to take the training were from all over the United States. It makes me happy to know that there are such great early childhood music teachers all across the country.
Here are some ways to be a nice person. I like nice people!
