Welcome to my Simple Music Teaching blog!
I have two words for you. Spring. Break. Have there ever been two sweeter words uttered? I am only on Tuesday of Spring Break and am still finding it kind of difficult to unwind. It’s hard for me to go from “responsible, disciplined, adult teacher” to “carefree and fun spring-breaker”. One of the great things about being a teacher is that we are given plentiful breaks to spend time with family and friends, or just to reignite the parts of ourselves that get lost in the busy workflow of teaching. I am attempting to explore the more creative side of myself, and trying on various hats that seem appealing to me. Paige Bell-the blogger, creator, songwriter, etc. Not to say I don’t love the other hats I wear in my life-Paige Bell-the daughter, sister, wife, teacher (Mrs. Bell), friend, performer, etc. All of that to say- I am absolutely ecstatic to share ideas, lesson plans, YouTube videos, and more with you!
Well, I am going to get on with exploring the “carefree and fun spring-breaker” side of myself. I am planning on spending a lot of time creating, shopping, dancing, and sitting in silence. Some may question whether “sitting in silence” is a carefree and fun activity. But if you are a teacher or have kids, you will fully understand how sitting in silence is like an absolute dream. Maybe add a cup of coffee, nice breeze on the porch, a good book, and there is heaven! I’d love to hear how you unwind during Spring Break, so if you’d like to share you can comment below.
Anyway, welcome to the Simple Music Teaching community and Happy Spring Break!
Hope you are finding peace and rest today!
