I can’t wait for 6:30AM Jazz Band to start back up again. It will force me to go to bed earlier. Goodnight. #fb
RT @allthingsnoisy: PSA: never, ever pick up or play someone’s musical instrument without their permission. Drummers will set your hair…
@Birdiebot Monterey is better. Just my opinion. But Santa Cruz will be fun.
@gb1191 um, I believe that’s the alarm. Maybe you should go see if someone is stealing it and/or turn off the alarm.
@RickJamez hey, I’ve been listening to Common Market. I actually really like them… which is a big departure for me. Thanks for the tip!
RT @mbteach: Help us develop questions for the PLN Panel at #ntcamp! http://bit.ly/bCYX73 #musedchat #mpln
Gonna go play around out in the garage for a while… because I can! #fb
Next week will be a blast with the #mpln going live hours earlier… #MusEdChat
RT @JaworskiMusic: @rlinv As the research says, praise of effort (not talent) is the important part. #MusEdChat
RT @ColinTGraham: encouraging responsibility fr each section as a gp can be powerful, peer pressure etc., and leaders can emerge #MusEdChat
RT @pisanojm: if you have Ss leadership, the goal is not to have a “click” of elites, but a “cadre” of servants of the group. #MusEdChat
@rlinv Yes, this unsolicited input is often an indicator of who the leaders are! #MusEdChat
@DoremiGirl Yes! reminders…, but this sort of ldrship molds them into the great young people your HS director will love you 4! #MusEdChat
At the MS level, the leaders need to be much more closely mentored by the teacher to overcome immaturity issues. #MusEdChat
@thomasjwest Yes, it certainly happens - but I think more often a group that is enthusiastic will work hard and become successful #MusEdChat
@Zweibz7 Skype Band? #MusEdChat
@Zweibz7 I don’t think these things are mutually exclusive. High quality ensembles should be naturally enthusiastic. #MusEdChat
RT @pisanojm: You can assess leadership effectiveness by judging enthusiasim, excitment, as well as goal obtainment. #musedchat #MusEdChat
Great ? Often becomes so cause of their positive behavior RT @brandtschneider: is leadership the kid we like the best? #musedchat
@LindsayMorelli I’ve done both although I lean toward private. Time becomes an issue, usually though. #musedchat
Life is about winning and losing and growing in character through both. I think music teaches this well. #musedchat
Absolutely! Section leader isn’t 1st ch.RT @pisanojm: Sometimes the best players ARE NOT the best leaders in a group. #musedchat
I don’t live somewhere with the luxury of “musical” substitute teachers. My lesson plans always direct specific students to lead #musedchat
@LindsayMorelli student led ensembles are great thing. That’s when you know you’ve done your job! #musedchat
@LindsayMorelli in an educational setting - absolutely! #musedchat
@Zweibz7 Elected position for “band president”, “social director” - things like that. Appointed for section leaders, etc. #musedchat
I do elected positions that are more “fun” and/or political in nature.Appointed positions for those requiring a certain skill set #musedchat
@rlinv do you run that at your school or send them away? #musedchat
I haven’t run into too many students who wish to lead, that don’t have leadership potential. Problem kids will avoid it. #musedchat
Student leaders take ownership of the ensemble and it’s success #musedchat
Aside from the benefits to & within the ensemble, student leadership is a huge benefit 2 the individual student’s personal growth #musedchat
For the next hour-plus, my tweets will be directed towards our weekly chat about teaching music. Join us tonight! #MusEdChat #fb
My garage is now organized and made up primarily of usable space! (No cars yet, though) #fb #ftw yio0
All right, time for some post-garage sale garage cleaning. Progress looms. #fb
@MsEstep exactly :)
