All about my life

I am thrilled to announce that I will be presenting at the Carl Orff Canada National Conference, "Bridges" in Saskatoon! I will be co-presenting with my good friend and colleague, Sean Fitzmaurice, and we will be presenting two sessions: Bring on the Bugs and Phrygian Galaxy ! We presented both sessions at the Canadian Music Educators' Association Conference this past summer and had such an amazing experience. We are so excited to share our original ideas and compositions at the upcoming COC conference from April 28 - May 1, 2016! Rhythmic compositions for our song "Tons of Bugs"!  Move and Groove Caterpillars!  Bug Dance!  Galactic Circle Dance! Phrygian Galaxy played in the dark!

I stopped doing a "Welcome Back" specific one, because, well honestly, because I couldn't be bothered with changing my big bulletin board every month. Ha.
