I didn't have time to write yesterday saw some up the last 2 days in this post. Yesterday was pretty good with all 3 classes I taught the whole.. During music theory we did Milotic and rhythmic dictation. We've been reviewed chord progressions and how to build cords. We added a quarter aggression to the melody that they dictated. That took most of the class, they're doing really well. At the end we had a quiz to turning the difference between major minor and diminished chords. Out of 10 options most kids if not all got at least 8 correct. I was happily surprised with how well they did. During the choirs I was able to conduct of our song and refer son.

Today was pretty good as well. The morning started early with early morning rehearsal for all those going on to her. Those kids are very dedicated and I'm so happy I can mark them. During singers it was a little bit more laid back today but we were able to do some really good and effective thing. During women's chorus I was able to talk about theory and work on singing animals in the beginning. We also saying to my music. This is Crockett had me work on the computer finishing a photo directory for 2 yr and also thinking financial information on Dropbox. Overall it's in really good last 2 days I'm really happy with the way everything is going

Today was pretty good. That's a lot of time working on getting more organized with the music that we use everyday. We each had to leave copies of everything after a busy day it's easy to have misplaced or buy music. Make copies of everything that we're doing but then she put them in a binder. Flower any music be much more organized. This is Crockett seem to be very excited about this way in. Drinks I was able to warm fire up the time working on music we did saying let everything that hath breath. It went really well I love that group of kids they're very talented singers hard worker. During women's chorus I was able to again work on let everything that has breath, Debbie

Today was another pretty good day. I had a really good time with the first. Music theory class. For the majority of the time we worked on Milotic and red make a dictation too familiar folk songs. We've been reviewed how to build tonic sub dominant and dominant cords. After that review we added the chords to the folk songs that they had previously dictated. I think it was very educational and they were very interested in helping create this music together. I walk away from that class Tony very happy and excited about where we're going to class. During concert choir again, didn't really struggle focusing on not talking. When did sectional that I worked with a man. Some of them try very hard about others really care less. The music is coming along but it could be so much further ahead is that okay. During mixed choir I spent about 10 minutes talking a little bit about myself to get to know me a little more. I talk to them about our adoption Facebook page and also how did I mention process has affected our lives and what we hope it will do for our family in the future. Then all 3 festival song and I was pleasantly surprised. We have a lot of work to do still, but I was happy with the progress we've made it we can sing the song from beginning to end. After going to our song we were able to work I worksheet to help I owe us identify those 2 can read music well they had a shin and symbol also had to identify know. After that we worked on a song let everything that has breath and again saying are Facebook. Today was great, overall I felt like it was a success

Today was another really good day. Not too much to report. During first. We worked on let everything that has breath. The kids love this song and get into it a lot. After her sing that song we announced today that for all 3 it to Decatur from yesterday Festival we received superior rating and that we will be going to state. They were all super excited and I'm so happy. , missus Walker from the middle school got donuts for the kids to celebrate a victory . The rest of the class. We spent time reading the comments from the judges. Both of their negative feedback how to do with the expressive nature of singers at the perform. We watched several videos of choir thing that show great expression on YouTube. I think it's even know what they need to do how to cheat during second. With the women's chorus we gave them prepass for music theory. That took the entire class so we weren't able to pay. Overall today was a great day what I'm doing learning a lot.

Today was awesome day! It was a bj which I normally thread with concert choir and the next wire. During first. Missus Crockett had me working on some computer documents so I wasn't in front of the class very much today. However Dan concert choir and our next course uh huh I was able to conduct quite a bit. I thought all of concert wire and all of mixed choir. They were awesome hearsal the kids were super engaged and they worked really hard. I have a good day super happy knowing that they have worked really well. I am very happy with the progress you're making. After school we had Chamber Choir Festival at Oro High. As I said yesterday Leanna gave me the response ability to conduct song rejoice. I practice quite a bit I felt really bad ready. And it went awesome. I was very impressed with all 3 numbers that are kids today. I wouldn't be surprised if they made it to state. Overall this is this experience have made me realize how much I really love directing a working with wires. I'm not exactly sure what the future holds career wise but I will be more than happy to work with fire my professional life.

Today it was good to get back with the choir. It had been 4 days since I've been at the school. We had a 3 day weekend due to a teacher comp day and yesterday I was pretty sick so I didn't go. Today we worked with singers and hibachi and it went pretty well. Missus Crockett did can a throw me for a loop when she asked me to conduct the song rejoice tomorrow during the regional festival. I have conducted it a few times in class but I'm not sure if I feel confident enough to perform it tomorrow. Needless to say I will spend most of my evening making sure that I am very up to speed with the song. The girls during second. Were pretty talkative and have been for the last couple days. I don't know if it's the casing of the rehearsal or if it's just spring time but something is changing. We need to find ways to address that issue so we can keep the momentum that we had to Mr. On all today went pretty well I still feel a little sick but was able to get through everything and so pretty pretty positive about it.

Today was another really good day! I'm really starting to enjoy what I'm doing more and more. Singers have a great rehearsal this morning were really focus and get there all. They're coming along very well musically and I feel like they are ready for performance. During second. The girls also did a great job. They work really hard and very dedicated. Today seems like less talking normal which was a blessing. Overall, really good day!

Today went pretty well. The morning started off with this for school rehearsal. Members of the concert choir and singers were there practice on for 2 yr. The sun's coming along and that's a good thing because they gone to worry about 2 and a half weeks. Still I wish I could go but I think it'll be a good thing that I don't. Thanks first. We went through more of the song that will be Thunder to her and then the 3 festival pieces which of the performance next Wednesday. During second. I was in the office most of the hour working on more finances. I think we have now got everything under control and things are looking pretty good overalls pick a day. Enjoy what I'm doing.

Today was actually pretty satisfying, though I didn't expect it. Yesterday we decided that I would figure out all the finances for the tour that is coming up. I sat at her computer with financial documents for 5 hours. I found several discrepancies and have questions about several things. Students lol about 21,000 dollars . Pretty much all I did today, I learned how important it is to stay on top of finances when you have so much money you're dealing with. It was a good real world experience for me

Today was great! During the 2 classes today we let everyone that was performing in solo and ensemble practice. At 4 o'clock we all meet at the school and take the bus to Salem Hills High School. The kids did great I was proud of all of them. I have a feeling that a few of them got superior rating while others performs well for their ability. Doing festivals, is a lot more work than I had anticipated this for being a student teacher. I now see how much work it goes into helping individual students at all so logistics of planning the event. It it was a good experience for me. On our way home we stopped stopped at Cafe Rio and had dinner. I was able to chat with some of the kids and get another 1 more personal level. It was a good night and a good day today!

5 March 2013

Today was an exhausting day. The first 2 periods went pretty well not many complaints. During music theory I mostly was in the computer lab helping students work on musictheory.net. During concert choir we divided into sectionals and I worked with the men. Most of them did a pretty good job thanks okay and singing well. There are still a few that struggle keep me posted my hair out. 30 hour we also divided into group again I worked with a man. They really make me pull my hair out. There are several of them that are really strong liters in a class. But, the second baby into mess around the other students follow suit. I really need to work with the key leaders so that we can make good progress as a group. I think I'm a little tired today, I'm not sure why. I'm hoping Thursday will be a better day with the class.

4 March 2013

Today was a great day! I feel like I say that too often, but really think I've been going quite well. The morning started off with 1 of the professors from Utah Valley University helping out are Chamber Choir. I felt like I got some really good feedback on 1 of the song that I am conducting and excited to implement the things he toda. The to other song that I don't conduct he also gave an enormous amounts of feedback on. It was interesting to see what small changes he could make and what great changes that made in the choir. I look forward to working with him again on Wednesday. During second hour are girls it awesome! We were able to practice the ensemble performance that we will perform on Wednesday. Both groups have made a lot of progress and I feel that musically they are almost prepared to receive a 1 rating. I really enjoyed my time so far can't believe 2 months have passed. They have definitely been difficult to days but it has all been worth it. I have learned so much and it so excited if I end up teaching career.
