Welcome back to Bluffsview for the 2013-2014 school year! It is so exciting to be starting a new school year. I hope that your summer was fun and relaxing.
One of the major things that I did this summer was complete my Orff Schulwerk Level 2 certification at Baldwin-Wallace University. It was a challenging two week course but very rewarding to complete. I can't wait to implement some of what I learned into my teaching this year.
How was YOUR summer? I can't wait to hear all about it as students return to my music room this week!

A Little Music History Lesson
Hey Bluffsview Bears - I hope you're enjoying your second week of summer. On a gray day like today, I often find myself browsing Pinterest and the various music blogs I follow for interesting things to share with you. I found this one today and had to post it! Five part, a capella singing (meaning without instruments) and a mash up of over a thousand years of music history. Enjoy!
