Yesterday I took my Music Content Knowledge certification exam. Unfortunately, I have to wait 4 weeks to find out my results. It was definitely the most unique exam I've ever taken. Since I started this blog, I've been studying (at least once a week) for this test. As my mother likes to say "Do your best and let God take care of the rest" I feel like I did that, and if I don't pass I'll review more and try try again!
The exam was unique in that there were 30 listening questions in which I had to identify composers, chords, world region, genre, performers etc. It was kind of like having your Itunes on shuffle and then answering questions about the music. :-)
In other news, my 2nd year of teaching music in French immersion is in full swing. I didn't get to go to my Level I Orff summer training course because it was canceled due to low enrollment. Dommage. Too bad. I'm going to attend all of the workshops put on by the AOSA music teachers professional organization here in St. Louis though. They are great! I always feel so encouraged and rejuvenated after them. Plus I walk away with at least 10+ interactive fun lessons! I just have to translate them into French and I have so many native speakers around at school to help me with that. :-)
Have a great week and enjoy the autumn weather!
