The Road to Right Here

It’s easier to teach the lesson plan that’s in our brain rather than the lesson plan that the student and moment often provides us.

I always try to celebrate as well as assess a kid’s past accomplishments before I endeavor presenting new material.

So what if they don’t know _____.

Is it impeding their ability to make music in the present?

And can you fill in missing bits that will help them round out their skills to help them enjoy making music in the present as well as the future?

And while you’re celebrating their past accomplishment, take a second to celebrate a few of your own.

The “Road to Right Here” probably wasn’t a straight shot and had bumps and detours along the way.

But guess what?

You’ve made it this far!

Congrats!

You’re showing the way how to traverse this musical road to your students.
