What do you enjoy most about teaching in your specialized area? 
 -"I enjoy teaching the students music because it is something that all will hear and listen to each day of their lives.  Music is always is with us no matter where we are or what we are doing.  All should be able to understand musical concepts to enhance their listening abilities and really enjoy what they are hearing. Being an active participant also enhances our ability to enjoy music.  Singing and playing instruments are basic ways to enjoy music.  Composing takes more knowledge, so we try to incorporate that information in general music classes."
