I' packing and preparing for a week in Carmel and Pacific Grove, working at the Monterey Bay Charter School, helping the teachers with their music in the classroom. As I was there last year as well, I have an idea of what to expect: I am anticipating a very full, exhausting yet rewarding five days with an enthusiastic group of people and a couple of amazing walks at Carmel Beach and Asilomar...
The school has requested a Parent Education Evening about "Building Social Awareness and Compassion through Song" - the workshop title I will be offering Saturday, November 17th in Fair Oaks.
I have the feeling that for me this theme will be particularly important for my work in the near future.
