Hi, everyone!
I am so excited to share my experiences as a BYU Arts Bridge Scholar! It is an opportunity like no other - to work with a classroom teacher, helping them learn how to implement the arts in their classroom and helping me become a better teacher. I am so excited to another semester with Arts Bridge!
A little about me: I am a student at Brigham Young University and I am majoring in Elementary Music Education. I will also be certified to teach in a regular elementary classroom when I graduate. For this reason, including the arts in a regular classroom is very important to me. I'm not sure if I'll be teaching in a regular classroom or a music classroom, but, either way, I hope that I am able to integrate learning across many fields in my teaching. I was so excited when I learned about the BYU Arts Bridge program, where the goal is to integrate the arts into daily learning of core curriculum. I hope that by participating in Arts Bridge, I can empower the classroom teacher I work with to confidently integrate music in her classroom on her own and that she will increase in her musical and music-teaching abilities. I also hope that I can learn more about the core curriculum, gain experience teaching, and specifically work on my classroom management skills.
I look forward to working with my classroom teacher this semester and sharing all about it with you!
