Thank you so much for this article, and for including this quote. I have felt so overburdened at the start of this school year, and that one sentence has helped to lift a giant weight off my shoulders.

I love how you extended the Orff Schulwerk process to us as teachers. I am definitely saving this to refer to this year. I recently commented to a colleague that there were so many new ideas, methods, theories, etc., being given to us at sucha fast pace that I felt like I was spinning. Thanks for reminding me to slow down and take it a little at a time.
