Feedback from Music Teachers in NZ

On MusicNet this week a teacher asked if anyone had task sheets for a level three music technology standard. I sent a link to the assessment on my website. Since sharing it I have had a number of teachers email me asking to use the site and commenting on it. These are some of the emails I have received:

"Teresa, Your website is a huge inspiration. I love it. Bloomin genius.
Thank you so much for sharing and inspiring."
Jo Suren- Waitara High School

"Hi Teresa, Wow these are really good resources!! Can I have permission to use these next year??"
Joanna Dickinson- Hamilton Girls High School

"Dear Teresa,
I picked up on your post re-23730 and checked out your new google site. Its fantastic! I intend to create my own for my dept over the hols. Thanks for allowing me to view and if I can be any assistance in return I wont hesitate."
Jim Wallace- Kamo High School

"That's really great Teresa! Love the website Idea!"
Eileen Scott- Makoura College

It's pretty cool to be able share these resources with other teachers and open their eyes to the power of technology in the music classroom!  

Music Further Studies

On Sunday the 3rd of September I took 8 students to Wellington to visit Whitireia Polytechnic and check out the music department (where I did my degree). The students attended a range of classes including DJ scratching class, Improvisation, Band class and beat making. It was a great day. We stayed in Levin with my family and also got to check out downtown Wellington and the Levin adventure park as part of our visit. We also caught up with Whare Mitai and Carlos Rangi-Dick who are in their first year of study for the music degree after graduating from Tarawera high school last year. I made a video of our trip here:
