The children entered The Harbor on Tuesday for the first time this year. Yellow lights, space on the floor, instruments in the corners, shoes and binders and planners off to the side of the room, sit in a circle...what's this about how to blend in and stand out?
Move in space using highs, mediums and low levels. Stop wondering whether other students are watching you and stop checking to see what movements they're creating. For now, let the creative process begin with you. What you have to offer is exactly what you need.
And then sing canons - "All Things Shall Perish" and "Coffee." How to sing with confidence and technique? Start with filling the area near the diaphragm as you breath in, and letting the air out slowly...singing on top of the exhale like a surfer rides a wave to shore. Calm and focused. Listening and singing in two parts on the first day.
Some body percussion, something about boom, boom,clap, an introduction to our website, and the first week is over.
And that's the beginning. I am thrilled to be your teacher this year, and I'm looking forward to meeting each of you where you are.

P.S. - It was a pleasure and honor last night to meet the parents responsible for the children passing through The Harbor. I look forward to getting to know y'all over the course of the year.
