I also made connections when relevant to our school-wide Words of the Week and K.I.N.D. Kids Program. It allowed me to team teach and model this instructional practice with teachers. Somewhere in the middle of this reading odyssey I became introduced to what is known as the Proficient Reader Research. I read and studied Mosaic of Thought by Ellin Keene and Susan Zimmermann as well as other advocates of this applied research such as Miller, Harvey and Goudvis, and counterparts in best practices in writing instruction such as Ruth Culham.

Instruments: Piano Trombone Euphonium

For beginner students, I will usually start with the basic fundamentals of playing the instrument. This would include tone production, articulation, flexibility, scales, arpeggios, and sight reading. Once the student has become more fluent in the technique of their instrument I will start to ask them what they want to work on and improve upon. One method I truly believe in is playing duets with the student. The best way to improve at anything is to practice with someone who has more experience. Read More
