Are you taking stock of the school year? Still spring concerts on your schedule? Other items to check off on your to-do list before you head out for the summer? How do you feel about the soon-to-wrap-up school year?
Post on the NAfME Facebook page to let us now what went well (and what didn’t) during your concert or even a Wednesday music class. Share the highs and lows of your school year with other music teachers and with students.
And speaking of summer, what are your plans? Classes to hone your skills? Spending time with family and friends. Teaching? If you take a vacation, where do you go? Not surprised if you plan to find some music somewhere.
