Sammy Salvador - Dr. Augustine ramirez intermediate school

Last year I was on a virtual track teaching a study skills class from home the whole school year. My favorite thing about being in-person this year is just that....being in person! Being able to make music and sing together as a choir again has been a huge improvement compared to the previous year. One of my biggest hurdles are all those students who literally don't want to sing since they didn't sign up for choir. Since I'm in middle school, I've sometimes found it easier to run with the chaos and let them go a little wild if it means they'll actually sing. For example, we're in the middle of doing our regular old warm-ups, when a group of trouble-maker boys start singing (more like screaming at first) the Bob the Builder theme song...this is now one of our favorite and most highly requested warm-ups!

ROB BLANEY - University High School & Ranch san JOAQUIN MIDDLE SCHOOL

​I currently teach vocal music at University High School in Irvine and one section of choir at Rancho San Joaquin Middle School in Irvine.

​I LOVE the energy of the classroom and the opportunity to get to know the students as real people. The biggest hurdle for me this year is that I am at a new school after 10 years. With these changes, however, is enormous potential for growth - building relationships, expanding culture and choir opportunities, and continuing to build on the excellence that was in place before I arrived.
