Welcome to Mrs. Manchester’s music blog. This year I will be sharing with you various thoughts on music, learning and Aspen School. This month I would like to talk about the role of talent in your child’s music education. While each child has a different level of ability and interest in music, it is my belief that every child deserves the opportunity to develop that ability to the fullest measure. As a music teacher it is my job to determine your child’s current knowledge and skill set and find ways to help him/her learn and grow as a musician. Just as every child has the ability to read or write or do math, so to does every child have the ability to understand and make music. I will use all my education and skills to ensure that your child develops this musical ability to the fullest extent possible.
