Meeting For The First Time

Hello everyone! Kyra here! So I probably should have posted about this quite some time ago, but I'm just getting around to it now. Better late than never, right? So two weeks ago, I got the pleasure of meeting both Daphne Budge, and Brittany May. As you know, Daphne's class is the one I will be making visits to and so we will be collaborating on our lesson plans. Brittany is my faculty mentor, and she has graciously made herself available to answer any of my questions and help brainstorm for possible lesson plans. Together, we basically make up the dream team!

       Here we are! We make up a good-looking trio, right?

I was so excited to meet both of them, and let me tell you, they both exceeded my expectations! They were both so kind, as well as professional and imaginative. I am so lucky to be working with them this year. During our meeting I found out one very important fact that I was not aware of before. The class I'm going to be visiting is a French immersion class! What does that mean, do you ask? Basically, it means that no English is spoken in the classroom. Ever. Now I don't speak French, so you can imagine that this was a surprise, but the wonderful thing about music is that it is spoken in every language. French, German, Latin, English, they all speak the same musical language and so I know that I am going to be just fine! I should be going out for my first visit in the next week or so, so stay tuned for that!


Thanks for reading!
