I am not original.

I am not original... nor do I see myself being original. I have been the only music specialist in my school of 5th thru 7th graders for the past four years, and will be so for the foreseeable future. Yet, I hate working in solitude. Why, you ask? Couldn't tell you. I just know that I thrive in situations where my petty ideas can ruminate with other, much better ideas and end up turning out quite okay!

All that said to say that I have "stolen" ideas of those who I would like to begin publicly crediting. This blog is meant to be a collaborative effort, to invite those of the musical community, especially the wind band, in an effort to produce a large collection of ideas revolving around teaching musical skills and running rehearsals. This is my effort to bring us together. I will link websites that are helpful in this process and catalog my own ideas, as well as the ideas of others, and credit them loudly.

Thanks for your consideration. Please consider contributing your and/or others ideas to this effort.
