For several weeks I have been in the throws of an application process to be the Music Specialist at The Gap School here in Sarasota. It is an opportunity I became aware of through a friend in The Florida Voices, a music ensemble Garland and I have been members of for 3 years.
The Gap School is a private special needs school for 7-18 year old students. They are expanding their curriculum for the 42 students to include music education, and as part of the process I had to develop a proposal including program and expenses for the Board of Directors.
Beginning August 18, (with two days off to take Emma to Hope!), I will be teaching on Mondays and Wednesdays at this unique school! I'm so excited, because in spite of the Next Food Network dream, THIS is my primary passion--music with kids. With all the changes at Riverview, this is an exciting and thrilling venture I'm about to begin!!
