On Tuesday the 10th of April Sallie and I went to observe Chandra Lind at Hawthorne. Her class was very well disciplined, there was little if no talking while she was instructing, students were quick when transitioning between pieces. The best part is that all of the students were responding to Chandra's teaching, not just listening but actively engaging themselves asking questions or demonstrating it for the class. When they needed to pack up and leave they all properly put their instruments away first and calmly, then helped put away chairs and stands. It was a very smooth operation, and I highly recommend most students to observe Chandra for classroom management.
CL is a very fine teacher. In fact, there has been a lot of growth in the orchestra program in Bozeman schools thanks to great teaching...go strings!!!
