You know those moments when something just *clicks*? When something suddenly makes sense to you that was confusing before or you make a new connection or you realize you're able to do something you didn't know you could do.

Sometimes we call these a-ha moments or breakthroughs. These are some of my favorite things to observe in my studio: when a student recognizes a new musical concept, makes a new connection, or can do something independently that they couldn't do without help before.

I've been looking back through my journal notes for the 2022-23 school year and reflecting on the a-ha moments and the learning that took place.

In this episode, you'll hear five short stories from my students, 1st grade to 8th grade, taken straight from my teaching journal.
