Harmony for Humanity

The purpose of this blog was to keep students, their families, and my friends aware of what is going on in my professional life. As I begin my retirement, the purpose will change.

I grew up in a wonderful town, Harvey, Illinois and had wonderful music teachers; I attended a number of universities, but DePauw and Loyola had the most impact on me. I enjoy finding old friends from New Orleans now, especially after H. Katrina.

Good day at the Races

I am always proud of my students' achievements, but they did extremely well at the GMEA Solo and Ensemble Festival held at Awtrey MS. Although a number could not attend (most had told me of conflicts such as SAT testing, ADAP classes for future drivers, etc.), we had a very nice showing. Events such as these go beyond what we as teachers expect of them during the regular school day. Students have to exhibit poise, confidence and a great deal of preparation on their part. I hope they will use their successes today when they apply to the colleges of their choice in the future! Once again, thanks to the parents who trek out to the northern part of our county to bring their students to this event. I will order their medals and return their comment sheets to them on Monday and Tuesday.
