Do I still have a giant infection on my face? Yes. Does it look more gnarly as each day goes by? Yes! But guess what? I’m thankful. Here’s what I’m thankful for:
- Doctors that make sure I’m getting the care I need
- My parents and in-laws for stepping in and helping when I’m not feeling well
- A house with a heater/insulation/furniture/hot water
- Family that wants to be part of my life
- Friends that check in with me
- The resources to give music education to everyone! 😉
This week’s episode will help reinforce the fingering for G, A, B, C, and D by learning a classic holiday song- Jingle Bells! There are some skipping motions that will require extra practice, but this would be a great song to learn and perform for family and friends during the holidays!
A little side note- if you are a music teacher, I know this time of the year is INSANE! You are probably running around like crazy getting ready for holiday programs while trying to avoid all the germs spreading at school! If you find yourself (or your voice) needing a break, this is a great video that will teach a fun holiday song (maybe a bonus holiday belt for recorder karate?) while reinforcing music literacy. If you’re concerned about using YouTube, I recommend SafeShare where you can generate a link that doesn’t have all the video suggestions pop up at the end of the video or on the side bars. My videos are ad-free, but I know it is hard to control what YouTube suggests, and SafeShare is a great solution to that issue.
I’ll be off next week for Thanksgiving, but have a wonderful time with family and friends and enjoy the lesson!
