Good news!! I was able to talk to my advisor about my interests in teaching near campus, and she was able to connect me to a non-profit organisation Hope 7. I am hoping to be able to start teaching my lessons from this week on. 

​

Some lesson plans I have in thought are:

-start by learning the basic music notes on sheet music 

(cons - it might be a little challenging and I don't exactly know the age group of the children I might be teaching

           - even though they have shown interest in music lessons, it might not be the technical elements of music)

(pros - it is the perfect way to start off a music lesson for children as it sets the stage up for future knowledge

           - this was one of the first things I learned in a master class with my former teacher and I would like to pass it on to the children 

           - there are fun ways to memorize the notes like "Every Good Boy Does Fine" and "FACE")

​

After I made this little pros and cons list out of one of the activities I would like to try, I've come to realize that I really won't know what's best until I go and teach one class. So, I am going with my gut and am hoping to try this for my first class.
