I will be leaving on Friday, and I am making sure I have everything ready to go! My suitcase is packed, lessons are planned, and I am excited to depart!
I am very excited for many parts of this IPDS learning experience, mainly teaching and experiencing a new and different culture. I am excited for the possible challenges that I may encounter while teaching abroad. I anticipate the language barrier may be a bit difficult. I took Italian lessons with my colleagues, and I hope that will help! While in Italy, I will be teaching in the town of Torremaggiore. My colleague Morgan and I have written a book in both Italian and English to share with the students. We have also prepared music and literacy activities to go along with the book that I am excited to teach! I am excited to be able to teach with friends both old and new. I will be teaching with colleagues majoring in music education, elementary education, and exceptional education. We all have group roles such as “Organiser”, “Group Mom”, and “Photographer”. I will be fulfilling the role of “Safety Patrol”, It's my job to make sure we all have a safe,and fun time. I am excited to be going with such a large group, as I believe all of our personal strengths will help us all grow and learn. I have heard many great things about this learning experience from my classmates and feel very fortunate to be able to have a similar experience. I am excited to grow as a person, musician, and a teacher so that I can become the best educator I can be!

AuthorI am a senior music education major. My primary instrument is the double bass, I have performance experience in ensembles on and off campus in orchestras, jazz ensembles, musicals, and more. During my undergraduate studies, I have also performed on saxophone in the jazz ensemble and sang bass with the Buffalo State chamber choir. Outside of school, I work for the town recreation department working with kids of all ages. I hope to become an elementary school general music teacher. My favorite thing to do outside of school is cooking. I love to make delicious meals for my friends and family. I am excited to experience a new culture and get experience teaching in Italy!
