Getting ready to learn about mosaics! RENAISSANCE Grant KEDC Grants

Pre-grout mosaic piece I did today! I’ve never tried glass mosaic before and it was very fun! RENAISSANCE Grant KEDC Grants

It’s been one month since the release of my latest album “Discover.” If you haven’t checked it out yet, this is a great time! distrokid.com/hyperfollow/sa…

Just finished the DBQ Project Course! I probably won’t use it specifically for a DBQ in orchestra, but the process is very similar to how I break down music over a concert cycle, and it did give me some good ideas on what to do to improve my teaching! RENAISSANCE Grant KEDC Grants

To me, the KEDC Renaissance grant is a chance for me to connect with like-minded arts educators to improve my teaching. It’s also a chance for me to learn new skills! RENAISSANCE Grant KEDC Grants

This was a great trip with a great organization!

Super excited to announce that my latest research article has been published by Kentucky Music Education Association in the latest issue of Bluegrass Music News! Thank you to the editors and everyone at KMEA for helping to further music education in our state.

New adventure with KEDC today! We’re checking out the Speed Art Museum in Louisville. We got started with some goodies! RENAISSANCE Grant KEDC Grants

There were some really cool exhibits at the Speed Art Museum. These are some of my favorites. RENAISSANCE Grant KEDC Grants

I won these dry erase white boards from a RENAISSANCE Grant drawing, and I’ve already been putting them to good use with my elementary kids! Thank you KEDC Grants for the teaching tools!

This little speaker was a gift from RENAISSANCE Grant, and I’ve already used it SO MUCH this year. 4 different elementary schools, 8 different classes for about two weeks. Tools like this are essential for itinerant teachers like me! KEDC Grants

Catching up on some RENAISSANCE Grant sessions this evening! These particular sessions are provided by the Kennedy Center. KEDC Grants The Kennedy Center
