However, I'm currently working on my masters in music ed, and I think 2 of my professors, Dr. Cooper and Dr. Draves, are my most influential music teachers as I develop this craft of teaching! They have gotten me to think so much more deeply about everything music education related.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03163634553098341984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8409459829966816644.post-69997191441882411312015-07-30T19:15:13.766-04:002015-07-30T19:15:13.766-04:00My most influential music teacher and one who real...My most influential music teacher and one who really inspired me to be involved in music was my middle school teacher, Mr. Baird. He was a older gentleman who had a passion for all things music and who demanded our best. Through him, I got involved in both band and choral music. It was through my choral music experience, however, that really inspired me to focus my talents and passion in music. <Malinda Phillipshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09703467049920435994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8409459829966816644.post-54172922892927703792015-07-30T15:02:30.262-04:002015-07-30T15:02:30.262-04:00My most influential teacher was Wally.

My 5th grade teacher I just really connected with for some reason. The memories are mostly full of good feelings. And then music of course was a big part of my life and my HS music teacher stretched me to come out of my box a little more than I would have. I was SO shy!

I think my most influential music teacher was my first piano teacher. I started with her when I was 7 and continued until I was 14. I must have tried to quit at least 6 times but she was very patient and knew that the most important thing was for me to continue exploring music- she told me that I didn't need to practice betweenElizabeth Caldwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12042281726294433770noreply@blogger.com
