Arts Education
As an elementary music specialist, I love to innovate my practice with the purpose of encouraging students to think of themselves as creatives, to explore their potential as artists, and to see the value and importance of the arts in their lives and communities.
Please feel free to check my Sandy Geddes Arts YouTube channel - you never know what educational gems you may find there!
