It can be hard to get motivated to think about new ideas for my music classrooms when I won't see a student for about 10-11 months. Then I went on Pinterest this morning. I use this site for 1) general music classroom ideas 2) string classroom ideas 3) fiddle techniques 4) recorder classroom ideas 5) women's choir 5) recipes 6) some odds and ends of inspiration. So it's not like I was specifically thinking about string classes this morning, but when you hit upon a new blog that has many great ideas, then you just have to read it all.
The more I read the blog, the more I realized that I had already pinned some of the posts, but now I must follow this blog on a regular basis. It's called Orchestra Classroom Ideas. One of the things that caught my attention was that she is now selling a piece for beginning string orchestra that she wrote, and it occurred to me that I could be spending part of my sabbatical also composing music for elementary string orchestra, and perhaps figure out how to sell it.... as well as use it for my own students!
Stay tuned!
