The Examining Experience

I’ve just returned from a week in Saskatchewan examining for Conservatory Canada, an inspiring experience as always. Listening to other teachers’ students perform the same music you teach is an educational experience.

Below are some observations of interest to parents and students.

-Proper preparations help to reduce anxieties
-Everyone makes mistakes, remembering not to crumble when you do is a skill to develop
-Children are capable of artistry
-Children take pride in genuine success

Cheers,
David
