Well least week was all institutes. The week before was band camp. Now we're settling into the patterns for the year.
I'm enjoying meeting new kids in a larger program, but learning new schedules and procedures isn't that fun. Plus I do miss some of my first students.
Do all teachers remember those first kids?
My thoughts and reflections related to the field of wind conducting and music education. Feel free to comment all you'd like.
