Now I have seen it all.

My family and I took a little trip up to LA for a couple days. While we were there we were cruising around the farmers market and my wife and daughters wanted to go into this doll place called American Girl. Have you heard about this place? well they basically sell some dolls that look like real babies, VERY expensive babies. :) They don't just sell the dolls though, there is a whole line of clothing and books that go with them. You can have your doll look like it came from africa or like it rides horses or any number of different things, pretty wild how many different options there were. That was not the wildest part though, THEY HAD A BEAUTY SALON FOR YOUR DOLL! That's right, there were girls there doing the hair of DOLLS! I guess I ned to get out more often, I was blown away that people were paying to have their dols hair done. WOW! here is a pic of the salon. Peace.

New Blog

OK, so i tried blogging on my web site was a little too clunky so my wife suggested I try Blogger.  So, here goes. I am a music teacher in the San Diego California area. I teach at Joli Ann Leichtag Elementary as well as Oak Crest and Diegeno middle schools, I am also the percussion teacher for Artistry in Music which is a great after school band program. As of January 2011 I will be doing the music outreach for the oceanside CA museum on art. I did this program in 2009 but we lost funding. We now have some backing and are up and running. Seems that is the story of my life ...... are we gonna get funding? did the grant come through?  these are the words I hear in my sleep.

I am intending to document some of the funny things that go on as a music teacher. Like the other day in the middle of rehearsing a percussion piece i wrote with a group of 2nd graders, i look at the triangle player and he has the triangle beater up his nose  :}  you never know what your gonna see. I love it!!!
