She is feeling frustrated at not getting further, having missed one lesson due to a field trip or something. "I'm only on page five and everyone else is on page niiiiiine!" I told her this is the way music is, it feels as if you were making no progress for a while, then your muscles suddenly get it and you can do something new. One of my current projects is a set of Orff-based beginning band activities which use only a limited note range in the student parts, to give more interest than the beginning band books have-it hardly makes sense that there are wonderful two and three note songs for recorder, but beginning band students have to struggle along for most of the first semester before they get to play anything which even sounds much like music. So far, it seems successful with my students. Besides, it means that the kids are developing better rhythmic reading skills, articulation, and musicality early on, which hopefully will pay off later. --Helen |

That seems to me to be an appropriate and rather Oh, I certainly think it is important to explain what I'm doing - which is why, when I'm done my history-taking, my chatter is along the lines of "now I'm looking for any growths or infections in the mouth; now I'm feeling his lymph nodes, which you might call glands; now I'm feeling his liver and intestines; ok, now I'm going to listen to his heart and lungs..." and then after the exam I say stuff like "the heart and lungs sounded normal, no signs of heart failure or lung disease; his belly was soft and nonpainful with no enlarged or shrunken organs palpated..." etc etc. Also one of my favorite things to do if kids come to the office call is to take an ear smear or skin scraping, and if there are any mites or budding yeast or anything, show the kid. They love that. But "teach him everything I know," um, no. -- hillary israeli vmd http://www.hillary.net "uber vaccae in quattuor partes divisum est." not-so-newly minted veterinarian-at-large |

I'll bet you are one patient person in most circumstances! -Aula -- see my creative works on ebay under aulame 123 |
