I have found that there are three types of music listeners. The first is the casual listener who doesn’t pay much attention to the music whatsoever. This listener often doesn’t know the name of the artists or the songs that they listen to. They don’t own much in the way of music. They might not…

Teaching Tip Tuesday – First Day of School
My best advice for the first day of school is to plan, plan, plan, and over-plan. You should have your day structured so well that there will never be any lag time. You need to involve the students in some easy work right away, first thing in the morning. I usually have them do an…

Komoka Running Tour

New Teacher Guide
I wanted to put together a New Teacher Guide to help all of those teachers who are busily preparing for their first teaching assignment.

3-Sided Mix Tape
Who ever heard of a three-sided mix tape? I know that I sure hadn’t. The problem was that I wanted to make another mix tape for my girlfriend. Except this time I wanted to make sure I could put it on a CD and give her a digital copy for her iPod as well. So…
