About me

Introduction Welcome! F Sharks & Cannonballs is the blog for beginner music teachers. I’ll be giving you advice from my 20 years (!) of music teaching experience to help you along the path of your teaching journey. Why F Sharks & Cannonballs? Because in my time as a teacher I’ve heard the craziest things from kids. Because one time I had to explain to a 6-year-old that what I’d said was in fact F SHARP, not F SHARK as she insisted on calling it. And because that thing at the beginning of a piece of music is a treble clef. Not a cannonball (It’s ok. I don’t get that one either).
