Seeing the way she'd opened up and developed throughout the year that I've known her was wonderful, and she really enjoyed herself as well! I was really proud of her. 😊]]> 2023-01-03 09:34:32 UTC https://padlet.com/adamcooke3/g0jvh5khpwnq74mk/wish/2432250143 https://padlet.com/adamcooke3/g0jvh5khpwnq74mk/wish/2432250405 At The Holden school my best pupil from last year had refused to do music this year. He would get very aggressive and have to be restrained each week. 
One week he mentioned that he liked it last year when I was teaching One on One. I said that he should be taken out of the class for the first part of the lesson and brought back for a lesson on his own. It worked and was very rewarding. ]]> 2023-01-03 09:34:59 UTC https://padlet.com/adamcooke3/g0jvh5khpwnq74mk/wish/2432250405 https://padlet.com/adamcooke3/g0jvh5khpwnq74mk/wish/2432250735 A hug from a child on the autistic spectrum. ]]> 2023-01-03 09:35:28 UTC https://padlet.com/adamcooke3/g0jvh5khpwnq74mk/wish/2432250735 jobuckler https://padlet.com/adamcooke3/g0jvh5khpwnq74mk/wish/2432250965 2023-01-03 09:35:50 UTC https://padlet.com/adamcooke3/g0jvh5khpwnq74mk/wish/2432250965 https://padlet.com/adamcooke3/g0jvh5khpwnq74mk/wish/2432250966 Xmas concert with mysteel at Gorton monastery, st Francis end of year 6 concert it was so good to see everyone enjoying them selves.]]> 2023-01-03 09:35:51 UTC https://padlet.com/adamcooke3/g0jvh5khpwnq74mk/wish/2432250966 https://padlet.com/adamcooke3/g0jvh5khpwnq74mk/wish/2432251007 2023-01-03 09:35:54 UTC https://padlet.com/adamcooke3/g0jvh5khpwnq74mk/wish/2432251007 https://padlet.com/adamcooke3/g0jvh5khpwnq74mk/wish/2432251060 Seeing the children in primary and secondary perform at their first live Christmas concert in 4 years for some! Very nerve racking but they did it and that made me smile! As well as their parents! So proud , also leading the band with John and 5 trombones and new trumpet pupils who have only been reading music for a year! I hope to start a music school with my husband soon as I’ve raised money last year and bought plastic instruments that are getting used in schools all over Doncaster where I’m
From so the aim is to carry it on in and around Manchester schools! ]]> 2023-01-03 09:35:56 UTC https://padlet.com/adamcooke3/g0jvh5khpwnq74mk/wish/2432251060 https://padlet.com/adamcooke3/g0jvh5khpwnq74mk/wish/2432251274 2023-01-03 09:36:17 UTC https://padlet.com/adamcooke3/g0jvh5khpwnq74mk/wish/2432251274 https://padlet.com/adamcooke3/g0jvh5khpwnq74mk/wish/2432251286 Taking over recorders midterm - went well and was well supported but had to quickly learn where classes were up to and adapt lesson plans]]> 2023-01-03 09:36:18 UTC https://padlet.com/adamcooke3/g0jvh5khpwnq74mk/wish/2432251286 https://padlet.com/adamcooke3/g0jvh5khpwnq74mk/wish/2432251470 My magic moment being invited to a concert at MGS by one of my piano pupils from South Centre.

Even encouraging a young man to do a solo and I was 'gobsmacked' at his ability. WOW!!! The encouragement from other students for each other was simply beautiful! 
I walked in petrified and left out feeling amazing!!! ]]> 2023-01-03 09:42:26 UTC https://padlet.com/adamcooke3/g0jvh5khpwnq74mk/wish/2432255959 https://padlet.com/adamcooke3/g0jvh5khpwnq74mk/wish/2432262296 All plans worked out across the board
