Conferences

I had a great time in June attending the HEMS conference for homeschooling families. Todd Wilson was a dynamic speaker who encouraged us all to persevere in this home-centered journey and to treasure the moments we have with our children.

It was also a fantastic opportunity to talk with other families about this new endeavor on which I am embarking: a concert band for homeschooling families!  I have missed the dynamics of a community band and was encouraged that there are others who are equally excited about being a part of one.

This month, I attended a Kindermusik Conference in Halifax. I enjoyed talking--and singing-- with dedicated and qualified educators from Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and Ontario.  I was energised and inspired to find new ways of connecting with families as I share in their greatest adventure: parenting!
