Today was another really good day. The morning started off with singers. They are getting much more prepared with the 3 festival song that we will take to the festival on the 20th of March. The song that I am conducting has made a lot of improvements, we switch what key were seen it in which made a big difference. We still need to work on heading forward motion and phrases and also adding additional strong weeks. During second. The girls also did a great job I've been very impressed with their sound American tone quality. They are a great group of girls with amazing talent and for the most part very good focus. During your prep time I was able to prep a little bit for tomorrow and grade some papers for music theory. On all today was much better and enjoy the day.

Today was the night and day difference from Monday. First. Went as normal pretty well. We were able to watch didn't perform their music maps and also listen to a piano solo. Schedule today were be reduced quite a bit because it was a half day of school. Concert Choir was amazing! Missus Crockett started the hour by expressing her disappointment and the lack of respect that I received the money rehearsal today for her to was focused direct and we accomplished everything I had planned to and more. During third. I was surprised at the lack of concentration and focus of the students. I have time to see and learn that if I give my whole self there more than likely to give me much as they can. But if I back off at all then they think they can get away with whatever they want. Lesson learned: I need to get my all everyday

Today was a much better day than yesterday. We only have 2 classes on a day and today there was an assembly so each class was much shorter than normal. During singers we were able to perform for another music teacher who then educated are performance. She gave a lot of really good feedback that I feel the students needed. During second hour we were able to run several of the song did we have been working on and the girls made much progress. Their tone is beautiful and they are diligent and dedicated to the music and the choir. During my prep time we prepared for concert choir tomorrow since it was quite a challenge yesterday. She's letting me teach the whole class again and this time expect perfection from student. I'm nervous and excited to see how it goes.

Today sucked! Missus Crockett texted me late last night and told me that she was sick and she wouldn't be here today. It didn't bug me too much because I've worked with all of the classes extensively I have been in front of them for the whole class hour before. First. With music theory went very well. Students are very cooperative and focus. During second., concert choir, the students were absolutely disrespectful. I couldn't believe the lack of focus and the lack of attention they gave me. I took it a little personally and at the end of class I ended 7 minutes early. I told them that I was getting them everything I had that I thought none of them well most of them weren't giving me half of what they could. I left them in complete silence and many of them felt bad enough to come in person I apologize. During third hour, mixed chorus, things went much better. I was nothing for this group and after experience in what I did with concert choir, I was extremely nervous. But, I was pleasantly surprised with them into focus concentration at the game. Walking away today I feel frustrated but I felt accomplished the other group. I think the day needs to be a paradigm shift in our classroom in speaking with missus Crockett on the phone I think we have a plan to fix our problem.

Today was another really good day. During first. I was able to work with several individuals on there solo and ensemble pieces for the competition in 2 weeks. Many of them are doing very well, Locust a lot on advanced techniques. During the thought che we were able to listen to another cell with in the class and I was able to perform my piece for them. The rest of the class we worked on their group Ensemble pieces for the upcoming solo and ensemble festival. We were able to sing the song Regina and they are making some amazing progress. These girls are hard workers and have a lot of talent. During our prep. A lot but done with finances from the previous concert. I was very surprised to learn that are profit from the concert was over 6000 dollars.

21 February 2013

Today was awesome! The day started out with the beginning music theory class. We did our interval and melodic dictation quiz. I was able to grade a few of them at the end of class. Some students did very very well. While others really struggled. I wasn't really surprised by those who did poorly. They often are absent or lack of attention while in class. We also were able to look at students music maps. Before students a present their maps today did an absolutely great job. During concert choir I went with the students who did not finish taking the test last. I wasn't in front of the choir at all except to perform my solo. It went very well and the students give me a great applause. During mixed chorus I was able to perform again and felt that my performance there was even better. During next course I worked with tenders and Altos by missus Crockett took the bases and Sopranos into another room. It was so much easier to work with half of the choir. They were much more attentive and worked harder. I enjoyed being with that class today. I often leave frustrated or with a headache after teaching next course. But today, was much different.

20 February 2013

Today was a pretty laid back day. We did get a lot accomplished though. During both classroom. Today we listened to all those who will perform in the upcoming solo and ensemble festival. Sounds pretty prepared, I can tell that they have practice quite a bit. Others have not prepared very well. We told to of the numbers but they would not be able to participate because of the lack of preparation they have had. It's hard for me to remember what it was like things solos or in small groups in high school. I think having been the university setting for such a long time I forget what to really expect from the younger students. There is some real talent an awesome potential, but it will take some work to get them to where they could be. During our prep time we were able to prepare for classes tomorrow and I feel like we're ready to go.

Today was a great day. Last night Rihanna called me and said she probably wouldn't be at school today. So, I was more mentally prepared for class then I ever happen. She ended up coming because she wasn't feeling it sick and she thought. What I learned is that when I'm more prepared I succeed that way try to accomplish. I need to prepare more. The morning started off with our beginning music theory class. They're good group and are very attentive. I never have problems with an acting up on me behaving. We were able to do a listening assignment Milotic and rhythmic dictation, intervals, review of music map, and work in our group. During concert choir it was pretty laid back. We spent most of our doing an advanced precast of music theory. During our mixed choir class I was able to teach for about 15 minutes and then we did an intermediate pre test on music theory. Overall the day went pretty well I wish that I play the piano better. I wish I had more time to practice.

Today was a really relaxed day, I was pretty surprised since this is the week at the concert. During both classes singers and the advanced women's chorus we work on decorations for the halls and for the inside of the auditorium for the concert. We didn't thing at all in singers and during women's chorus we reviewed their songs for solo and ensemble. Pretty in anything full day not too much to report.

7 February 2013

Today was so much better than yesterday! I know it has something to do with the 2 classes I teach today being more than a little more mature. Starting the singers I ran the whole rehearsal and I thought it went really really well I think in the kitchen I now have a relationship of mutual respect and trust and feel that we work very well together. Today honestly, they have sound did much better the last few Dave. I think there focus relieved provide so much energy. During second. With the Women's Show Choir we were able to get through almost all of the music. We worked on some berry stylistics things and were able to accomplish when I think mister Peters need. We had a little heart to heart I told them that they were on the 1 of the best girls group that I have ever heard and they have so much potential in talent but if they start talking all the time every time we stopped rehearsing then they never going to cheat much more than me I'm pretty. I think it got to muster them and then I think that we have set a new time for the class. Plumbing problems at home so I had to leave right after class but overall super good experience today

6 February 2013

Today was not a very good day. Music theory went pretty well not super organized but with complish enough for the children to say in gauge. Dang concert choir there was more focused then there has been in the past. I spent most the time in the auditorium staging choreography for the concert next week. During third. Doctor Broomhead came to serve me teach the mixed choir. They were super talkative and it's very frustrating for me trying to teach. Message me back he gave me with a kiss on helping the men become real man helping him understand the importance of focus. Talk about how we need to make an extra effort to campaign of sorts, to get the men involved and loving what they're doing. Until that happens he said we wanted me to reach mediocrity. I didn't say very much last night feeling kind of crappy I think that's all for today.

4 February 2013

Today was another pretty good day. I feel a little more tired than I normally do at the end of the day but it was pretty good. The morning started off with music theory and the majority of what I thought I was with rhythm I also work with my group on note identification. Most of them are doing pretty well though 1 girl really struggles. I know that she has some learning disabilities so I've been giving her a little bit easier work. She is accomplishing things and ask her to and I didn't even be so I felt good about what about church you.

Concert Choir with fun we got to practice a lot of the songs we're singing at the concert next week. I feel like today was the first day well, maybe not the first day, but the first time in a long time when I felt respect from the whole class. They're doing a great job with the new the medley and I know though have a great performance next week. We spent most the time with the boys on on the song for me. The choreographer came again today and we breast up and finish that the song

During mixed chorus we were able to work on go down Moses the gift of love she's in love, nothing like a dame, and spark of creation. Go down Moses is starting to sound really good. We need to work small segments in masturbation before moving on. I feel again to discuss it more attention than normal but what he and they really lost her phone.

Today what a great day! Missus Crockett is in Saint George for the music educator conference. There was a sub there but she sat in the back and read a book the whole time. Seems kinda unfair that I'm the 1 working for free and she gets paid to sit and read a book. Oh well, I guess that's just how it goes.

During singers this morning we reviewed spark of creation and God is calling. They were very focused and I was super happy with their hard work they sounded amazing. Are choreography choreographer arrived and we spend the rest of the hour working on spam a lot. The kids really love this song and have a lot of fun with it to the point where sometimes it's very difficult to get their attention back. But overall they are working really hard and doing a good job and having a lot of fun. And in the end, that's what it's all about.

During the font she we spent pretty much the entire. On she's in love again the choreographer with able to help them finish the whole song. Bistros really got into it today and did awesome job. I'm happy with their progress and with the dedication that they show. During lunch we had a rehearsal again for she's in love and all the women from the mixed chorus joined us. I thought that the girls in the BOP she would stand out a little bit more than the others but that we're all doing a really good job. It was a really good day I was a little nervous because missus Crockett wouldn't be there but it went really well and I'm happy with how it all turned out
