     "
Involvement in NOCKA has inspired me so much over the years.  Each workshop makes me feel refreshed and excited to try a new idea in my classroom.  Had I not attended so many workshops during my undergraduate years, I would not have known where to start when I began my career. Kodaly Levels training truly helped me form my personal teaching philosophy, and gave me the confidence to help write Avon Lake's current music curriculum."
