Of Resting, Rhythmic Rescues & Tango Transformations

  1. Resting
    ​
    It's not my natural groove, but I did it.
    ​
    I accidentally stumbled into a summer of wandering pathways and fishing adventures with my boys.
    ​
    It's what I didn't know I needed, but it was healthy and good. It meant that I didn't meet all my invisible personal deadlines, but I convinced myself that was okay too.
    ​
    ✨ Do you feel you are in the trenches of 'busy' or have moments of rest come your way in recent seasons?

  2. Rhythm Rescues
    ​
    Somewhere on the inter-webs I spotted a metronome (gasp) and rhythms on circles.
    ​
    As inspiration would have it, I turned it into this interactive Rhythm Circles activity that I introduce in this video (4:47 mins).

    ​
    A wonderful local colleague expanded it into this wonderful resource over on "Teachers Pay Teachers".

  3. Tango Transformations
    ​
    Modern contemporary composer, Amy Ferguson, transformed the memorable "Happy Birthday" tune into a cheeky tango!
    I couldn't resist learning it and introduce it here!
