One of the most fun I can think of is hanging out with preschoolers and singing! This week I started a 14 session residency at the Midtown Early Childhood Education Center where 20 four year old students are always eager to sing and move to the music. As a Wolf Trap Teaching Artist I have the opportunity to go into various classrooms and share with students activities that strengthen their pre-reading skills and teach teachers strategies on how to incorporate music into their curriculum that will expand phonemic awareness and reading literacy. We know the power that music has on us as adults, to use that same power to teach is incredible. If you ever want to see the power of music and literacy in action give me a call and I can arrange a visit to one of my classes. Being a Kansas Wolf Trap Teaching Artist is an honor and a privilege.
