Early this morning I left Mishawka with the CMENC chapter at Bethel to head to Indianapolis for the IMEA conference. Since I teach choir and have little experience in that area I've focused on vocal seminars all day. My brain hurts. Vocalist have a totally different way of thinking than instrumentalist. I've felt very out of place but am learning some great things.
There are always tons of exhibitors at the convention and I've had the opportunity to make some new connections. I've talked to a few schools about music therapy certification and some curriculum specialist about adapted music. They have pointed me towards some possible resources.
My highlight of the day was watching some of our Oasis students sing in the Discovery Middle School Vocal Jazz Ensemble. The girls were AWESOME! They did four part pieces and some complex rhythmic things. I was so proud of them. I've been bragging about them all day and I'm not even their teacher. I love our students!!! Great job ladies!
