I have had the privilege to create my own platform, "Life Changing Moments Through Music." The short of it is that I am going into McMurray School and teaching Ashley Kim's (a friend from church) class an introduction to violin. My first day was extremely successful. They were silent from the moment I walked in. Ashley explained who I was and what I was there to do. Then, I continued to explain why I was there and that I wanted to further their knowledge of music.
These kids were attentive listeners and enjoyed each style that I played. I played classical, bluegrass, and did a fiddle tune. I played a tune called Black and White Rag. This tune sparked their interest because they had studied about rag music from the 20's in a previous music class. We enjoyed our time together and even took an "Ellen" selfie before the bell rang.
I am returning regularly to the class and am loving my time with these kids!
