One of the most rewarding experiences professionally for this year was my Thursday job at Tesuque Elementary School. Although Tesuque is truly located only three miles north of Santa Fe proper, it always seems like it is in the middle of nowhere, no matter how many times I go out there.
When I first got the call to hang out with these little troopers on a semi long-term basis I thought. cool, and I immediately began downloading fun music lesson plans from one of my favorite music teaching sites..The Fun Music Company
The first lesson I tried with the 6th graders failed utterly, much to my surprise. It was an interactive lesson on the history of rock and roll with lots of fun music and handouts and activities and all that drill. What bewildered me greatly was the sixth graders complete lack of respect for the term "rock and roll." Whoa, where did that disrespect for the "holy of holies," come from?

Mr. W. does Kinder...
Mr. Chrisman conducts while Mr. W. Conducts.
Turns out, as much as it hurts, Rock and Roll is out and Justin B. is in! Ack
