A Visit To 1st Grade

( 10 Votes )
On May 22, 2009 Neil dropped in to Carolyn Beadle's 1st grade classroom and taught the kids Puff The Magic Dragon. Neil's son Cory had been in Mrs. Beadle's class about 15 years earlier, and Neil had been a student at the same elementary school many years ago, a little before Mrs. Beadle was there.

Great video Neil. Children are such eager learners and have such a great time doing it.

Music: You make happiness with it!

Really cute! Listen people, this is what makes Neil a great teacher. He can reach out and connect with whoever is there, pick them up and carry them to a new level of understanding and ability with a deceptive easiness and obvious joy. This is a true gift, cultivated through years of sensitive coaching. Watching this video (I missed a hairdresser's appointment in the process, duh!) I was reminded of someone who has the same "feel". Robert Fulghum, who wrote All I REALLY NEEDED TO KNOW I LEARNED IN KINDERGARTEN. He talks about taking music back from the paid performers (those who "can") to those who have started to believe they "can't" as that's where it belongs, with you and me. When he asked kids in kindergarten if they could sing (paint, draw or act) they all said "yes we can. Let's do it now!" The same questions at a University produced only one or two hands in the air each time. Apparently between kindergarten and "growing up" we loose it all and become people who mostly "can't". Neil is someone who is helping us all put the "can" back where it belongs. With us, with music. Music: you make happiness with it! Wonderful; that could have come from one of Robert Fulghum's books. If Neil and Robert haven't met, they should, Robert's a guitar player too. Here's the link to Fulghum:

Gorgeous! - I definitely think that Neil and the kids made happiness that day.
