Welcome to our Music Classroom!

Welcome to our Music Classroom!

My Inspiration...

Tell me, I forget.
Show me, I remember.
Involve me, I understand.

-- Carl Orff

About Me

My photo
Clare Eggleston
Hi! My name is Clare Eggleston and this is my HSES Music Blog! I am a wife of 14 years, mother to a seven year-old daughter and two year-old son. Our school, located in Bishop, GA (near Athens), has about 540 students who come to music once a week for 50 minutes. This is my 15th year teaching elementary music and my 10th year at HSES and I absolutely LOVE it! I am Orff-Schulwerk Level 1 certified and love all things Orff. I have a passion for providing fun, novel, and interactive lessons for my students. My goal is to get them singing, playing, creating, and moving each time they come to my room. I hope you enjoy checking out what my students are up to!
