You’ve found my blog. Hurrah!
I am a graduate of the University of British Columbia’s Faculty of Education, in Secondary Music. I have a B.Mus. from UBC’s School of Music.
Here, you will find notes on my personal philosophy of teaching, a list of subjects I can and have TOC’ed, samples of lesson and unit plans in music, and personal reflections from my time in UBC’s BEd.
Hi all,
I checked the front end — the part you all see — the other day and noticed a few pages have gone missing, including an entire category in the menu and pages such as subjects I have TOC’ed and my collection of interesting articles, videos, etc. I understand UBC and/or WordPress recently update their systems, and it appears changes to my site since October 2015 have been lost. I’m working to rectify this dilemma, and hope to make everything live again by the end of February.
Thank you for your patience while I perform this maintenance.
I am determined and dear
I wonder how to show fear
I hear tick-a-tack typing
I see the things you whisper in my ear
I want the moon in their eyes
I am determined and dear
I pretend spinning makes me fly
I feel light and alive
I touch the voice to the ear
I worry about teaching to cry
I cry to help me see why
I am determined and dear
I understand you through me
I say fight me on my pedestal; let’s see
I dream of wings from here
I try new things without nets
I hope for life sans regrets
I am determined and dear
