two little sausages
sitting in a pan
one went "sizzle!"
the other went "bam!"

i'm using this poem as the framework for my first lesson plan of the year. children will demonstrate how to keep a steady beat and assign kodaly rhythm notation to the poem, as well as accompany the poem with instruments and write new words to replace the last word of each line.

the semester has started off well. i love allen so much. my courseload is considerably lighter than expected, but awfully kinesthetic. seriously, this is the most kinesthetic any semester has ever been. i'm learning the following instruments:
-bassoon
-viola
-trumpet
-tenor recorder

my classes are woodwind methods, string methods, brass methods, music lit 3, analysis 1, historical instruments, elementary school music methods, conducting 1, and wind ensemble. and clarinet lessons, of course.

that's all for now.
