As a music teacher, I’ve often felt that my job is not just to teach musical skills, but to open my students’ minds to the wide world we live in. Through music, I hope to inspire them to travel and learn about the world on their own. Last summer I was lucky enough to participate in the Orff-Afrique Course in Dzodze, Ghana. This course is described as a way to learn about West African music and dance, but is truly so much more–an incredibly eye-opening cultural experience that will influence me as a teacher and a person for the rest of my life.
