Philosophy

"Because music is a basic expression of human culture, every student should have access to a balanced, comprehensive and sequential program of study in music." (National Standards for Art Education p. 26)

The Beginning

My name is Mia Paige. I am a undergraduate student in college achieving a Music degree minoring in Educational Studies. I plan to work as a teacher while pursuing my Masters Degree in Music Edcation. I have spent a few years substitute teaching at elementary schools and tutoring neighborhood kids. So far the experience has been a bidirectional learning process. You give as much as you recieve. I love children and enjoy watching them learn. There little faces light up after comprehending new concepts. Efforts are rewards immediately by expressed appreciation. I love the field and very excited about working in it full-time.

This blog is created to share my thoughts and experiences as I travel on this path. Posts will focus on teaching music at the elementary level, as well as provide music education resources.
