I wonder about how children learn and if certain strategies are more effective than others. I think about the circumstances of my earliest memories and ponder why they were etched in my "very left-brained" mind.
You know by now where this is going, don't you? Some memories remain vivid because of an association with an event or an activity. Identifying and then implementing these positive yet galvanizing forces can be a powerful teaching tool. I remember the excitement that I was experiencing while waiting with my friend for my first piano lesson and I still remember my piano teacher's words during that first lesson.
Art can come in a variety of modalities. Music, Dance, Theater, Poetry. I love dreaming up ways where children can learn and create their own memorable experiences through art. Admittedly, I still have just as much fun today as when I was 8 years of age.

Share your talents. The woods would be silent if only the birds with the best voices sang.
