Good Evening (Almost Morning),
I wonder if Mozart, Bach, or Tchaikovsky ever had to worry about how they were going to balance taking the sick baby to the doctor, caring for their significant other, attempting to have some semblance of a clean home, and trying to compose music? I am working on an album right now for a music company, and I have to have the final track (with shorter edits) done before we leave for vacation this week. Craziness!
The music is jazzy, with a Latin twist (I have a blast throwing in all the percussion parts, since I have played drums for over twenty years now). Anyway, it is nearly midnite, I am trying to finish, and baby starts crying. Poor thing is sick with a cold. Anyway, I tuck her in and then back to composing. (Yawn). I am super tired, but I need to meet this deadline. (I am sure Bach would understand, he worked fulltime as a choir director, writing a cantata per week AND he had about 20 biological children. Ack!)
Well, gotta run, even with my soundproof headphones, I can hear my baby calling from the next room. Ciao for now!

Midnite musings
Hola Everyone,
(Yawn) Its 4:30 am and I just managed to put my little baby to sleep once again. She started crawling a few weeks back and her sleep schedule went out the window. The funny thing is that she started pulling herself to stand a week before she started to crawl. In fact, except for chasing down mommy or daddy in our small apartment, she tries standing more than she crawls.
Having your own child is definitely much different than teaching someone else's children! I have probably taught thousands of kids by now, from preschool to graduate school, but having my own little booger running about sure changes things. :-)
Plus side today: I made her some yummy peas/carrots/onions stuff and she actually ate it, no questions asked!
Ok, back to sleep....(YAWN!)

Bebé y trabajo
(Hablo "Spanglish" pero no puedo escibir muy bien pero creo es muy importante que madres se hablan ingles y español pueden enseñar música a sus hijos. I hope you find the information useful.)
¡Hola!
Para los que no saben, el otoño pasado di a luz a a nuestro primer bebé… una niña dulce que es tan activa como su mamí, aunque ella parece su papá. Ella ha tenido un frío toda esta semana, así que he tenido menos tiempo que había esperado trabajar en Mamí Mozart.
Vea las paginaciones del plan de lección de Mamí Mozart. He estado trabajando en la educación del arte y de la música por encima una década, y conectado a alguna diversión y proyectos fáciles del arte y de la música.
Añadí una sección “verde” que iba a la paginación del plan de lección. ¡Estos planes de lección no sólo ayudan al ambiente, son a menudo fáciles y barato! :-)
¡Le espero que comparte a Mamí Mozart con sus amigos y familia!
Sonrisas,
Mamí Mozart

Juggling Baby and Work
Hello Everyone!
For those that do not know, last fall I gave birth to our first baby...a sweet little girl who is as active as her mamí, though she looks like her daddy (bald and all!) She has had a cold all this week, so I have had less time than I had hoped to work on Mamí Mozart.
Check out Mamí Mozart's updated Lesson Plan pages. I have been working in art and music education for over a decade, and linked to some fun and easy art and music projects. I hope to add another twenty links or so (maybe today?). Please feel free to share these fun music activities. They work great at home, at school, at daycare, or just because!
Much of my educational experience has been with at-risk children, and I have tons of music and art lesson plans to share that are specifically for children with ADD, ADHD, live in the inner city, have emotional disorders, etc. I really feel that music and art gives a creative outlet for these children, who often have very few safe outlets to express themselves. Parents have loved these lesson plans, too.
I also added a "Going Green" section to the Lesson Plan page. These lesson plans not only help the environment, they are often easy and FREE! :-)
I hope you sharing Mamí Mozart with your friends and family!
Smiles,
Mamí Mozart
PS I will try to post in Spanish as well. Pero, hablo "Spanglish" y my Spanish writing skills are "muy mal" (or is it "malo"?). Right now I will be using an online translator and doublechecking it. If anyone has any Spanish resources (or other language resources like Creole) that you would like to share, just let me know!
