Big Changes = SALE & Giveaway

It's been ages since I wrote in this beloved place. I can truly say I have missed it. Life has changed so much since the last time I wrote here and I hope that I'll be able to return to this blog again. 
The last four years have created so many changes that took away from creating. First, I got married and had to start a brand new job where I tried to balance teaching everything from elementary general music to 8th grade general music and 7th grade voice lessons. I had so many hats on that I could hardly keep track. 
Then there was the switch to teaching all elementary school with an emphasis on teaching 5 classes of Kindergarten and 1st Grade. Thankfully I got to study with John Feierabend at Silver Lake College and get First Steps in Music trained. I'll be writing more about the magic of First Steps in a later blog post. Watch out for that.
My son was born in March 2019 and being a mother adds yet another hat to my wardrobe. I absolutely love being a mom, but there are definitely days I struggle as I'm sure any mother does.
Now, tomorrow is a big day. Tomorrow is the day I finally present my capstone project as the culmination of my Masters of Music in Music Education with a Kodaly Emphasis program. After four years I finally get to share some of the things I have learned during the process and I'm truly excited about it. (Nervous, too.) 
Changes have occurred not only in my life, but in my philosophy of music. So many great professors have opened my eyes to new ways of doing things and I'm hoping to share some of these new ways of teaching with all of you. I have even began creating new products to go along with Conversational Solfege and First Steps in Music. If you already are a Feierabend follower these will be great additions to your collection and if not, please stick around anyway. Check them out. See if you can integrate them into your own teaching. I'll try to show you how!
So, to celebrate all the changes and the new additions being added to my store I have decided to hold a giveaway, as well as a big sale. Details about the giveaway can be found below and the sale banner will lead you directly to my Teachers Pay Teachers shop. Please tell any of your friends that are Feierabend followers who probably haven't heard of me yet.
