Teaching

Guess who will be teaching Strings!

Andrew, Omar, and I had a meeting down in Lambeth for our work-study. Each of us will be teaching at four schools in 2 days, so we should be fairly busy. I'll be teaching band, general music, and strings of course. Omar also has some string classes along with band and general music and Andrew just has band/general music.

I'm not too worried about the whole strings thing. Even though Class Strings was kind of a joke, I think I can handle this because the students only learn three notes, they call them by solfege, not note names, and they don't get to bowing until Christmas. I think I'll be ok.

Here's a little trivia I learned in my British Pop class:

Q. Like many other great composers around Europe, Handel's house has been preserved through the years by a historical society. Which famous rock star lived in the flat next door??

Hi George!

A. Jimi Hendrix! The society that owns the Handel House bought Jimi's flat. There's a little plaque outside the flat.

Cheers!
