My apologies for not posting in a while, I have been substitute teaching and working as a substitute para-educator in two different school districts on top of teavjing music lessons and after subbing as a sub para educator, I was encouraged to apply for a PT position at a H.S. that has a good team of staff, great students, and i seemed to be well liked and accepted, so I did, why not!
After a few months, I finally was scheduled an interview and found out that there were plenty of other people interviewing, after some staff said there probably wouldnt be since it was not full time. Then, the next day, I received a phone call from the vice principal telling me that they were excited to offer me the position! I’m a one on one Para-Educator for a high needs, spevial education student in a H.S.!!!

That means that I need a lot of training, but I’m very excited! During my substitute work with this school, I was also training on the job, while getting to know this student, while being provided goif support and guidance. I’m also incorporating my music skills as therapy with this student, since they enjoy music.

I’m still a substitute Para Educator within two school districts, since my new job/position is only several hours a day for now, with the probability that the hours will increase through the year along with the student. Unfortunately that means that I don’t have enough time in tje day to substitute teach since those positions are half or full days, while substitute para can be a few hiyrs to half or a full day, providing more opportunities to work and there is a great need for this help. I did enjoy substitute teaching, although it was very challenging, however that school district offered to add me to their Sub Para list, so thats why I am subbing with two districts.

I am continuing to teach music lessons on over 10 instruments and voice, 6 days a week (sometimes 7 days a week, including occasional make up lessons!), which is my number one priority and what my degree is in, so now my schedule is nearky full!

I am completing several training courses in person as well as online. I also have to complete a lot of tasks as a new hire, so it’s keeping me very busy, on top of being a Substitute and teaching music lessons! I’m having fun, being challenged and learning so much. I am also continuing to make recordings for my music students so I will be posting more playing soon!

Thank you for your support!!!!!🙏💕😊🎶🎵🎼

I had so much fun substitute teaching for Jazz Band, Wind Ensemble, Orchestra, Concert Band& Percussion Ensemble at Everett H.S. on Monday! They had so many teachers out that day so during her prep period, someone dropped off a Sub folder and I had to hustle over to another building to Sub for a health class, meaning that my half hour lunch is the only break I had from 6:15am to 2pm and I was doing Attendance during lunch!I still had a snack! Then after I was done Subbing, I taught music lessons from 3 to 8:30. I left home at 5:45am and got home at 9pm, so it was a Very Long Day!!!!!

There’s a new attendance system that has recently been implemented and its on the computer, of course and many of the computers aren’t functioning well and/or it’s hard to locate the correct program onced ligged on, but I finally figured it out after trial and error during almost every passing period inbetwen classes, so I spent my 30 minute lunch break as well as the 30 minutes after her last class, to enter it after using a clip board and paper for the classes to write their names down the “old fashioned” way, lol!!! It took a while, as some classes had 40 students!

Anyway, I got to conduct and help rehearse each class/ensemble, which was definitely so much fun and absolutely my happy place. Most of the students seemed to appreciate that I am knowledgeable and can actually be helpful, since many Subs aren’t. They sounded amazing as well!

Please if you can keep me in your positive thoughts and specific prayers, I’m continuing to research pathways to earning my teaching certification and will be trying to figure out how we can afford to pay for that.
It would most likely be a full time program if I do music education, which is my passion and my Bachelor’s Degree subject matter, although there’s a high need for Sped Ed Teachers and since I have also been subbing as a Para Educator, working with differentjy abled students of all ages, I have really enjoyed the experience, Ive learned so kich and continue to, and it’s very rewarding.

Either way, it’s expensive, it’s time consuming, I would most likely need to stop working which means taking loans for my continuing education as well as to live, then that would have to paid back upon graduating. It’s doable, its only a year to a year and a half or two, depending upon the program if there’s a Masters involved. it’s also a big commitment and a bit stressful, but it’s exciting and I can do it. I believe in myself, so more will be revealed!

I’m glad I put myself out there and took the time (its quite a process) to apply to Substitute in two school districts because it has already been very educational, a great experience, for the most part very fun as well as challenging and at times, frustrating for different reasons, I’m able to give back in a different way, I’m getting to be introduced to and getting to know other staff, para’s and teachers, who all have been wonderful!

Some of my values or inspirations to live by;
Never stop learning, take healthy risks, try to have no regrets, always do your best in every situation, you can start your day over at any time, everyday is an audition/interview, you never know who you will meet or who is watching, do your best to make the world a better place, own your mistakes especially in regards to interacting with others, utilize teacheable moments, have integrity, be as positive as you can be, be present, don’t interrupt and use common sense!!!!

Happy Wednesday!!!!!😎🙏🎵🤗🎼😊🎶

Very goif suggestions!!
Learn how to practice, it pays off! 😎👍🎵🎶🎼

Hi Music Teachers and/or any parents that want to expose your children to musical education aspects in a fun and creative way! I have found a few good Rhythm learning games for my young music students!

I make adjustments for certain students and I add challenges for others.

Slow the speed down using the settings button and play back speed in each video, if you need it slower for some students that are beginners. It seems pretty fast, especially during more challenging rhythms.

I incorpprate drum sticks called blast sticks and some percussion instruments to use the sticks with or just to play with our hands and I have used piano, but you can clap your hands and/or use other instruments, get creatuve with it!
