A special thank you goes out to Rhonda Dallas of the Prince George’s Arts and Humanities Council (PGAHC)  for inviting me and Around the Piano to this awesome teacher’s institute at the beautiful Bowie University Campus.  I am inspired and excited to share ideas about how Around the Piano/Character Building songs and lessons can be seamlessly integrated into any curriculum.  Getting our students and team members comfortable singing, thinking, talking, and writing while developing their own personal codes of character and improving climate is an attainable goal that’s worth reaching.
