How could I Keep from Singing?

My supervisor and I have been speaking throughout my time here about the best strategy for me to teach and I have found that we have not really been getting the real meaning behind what he had said until now. In teaching one should play to their strengths. I have now accepted the fact that I will never become a great piano player and that even with the amount I can play, it takes too much focus to be an effective teaching method. What I do have is my voice. I am going to spend the rest of my time at my placements working to perfect singing the parts for the students. I tried it out on the fly after my supervisor left and it felt great! It was by no means a perfect method but I did not have to worry about not being able to play all the notes correctly or not being able to play the piece up to tempo on piano. I could simply sing the part with them and tell instantly if they were dragging and when they were not singing the same pitch that I was. I feel re energized for teaching because of the last two hours today and I really hope that this feeling continues as I experiment with this new and hopefully easier method.

This song seemed fitting and I am teaching an arrangement of this piece to the Women's Chorale at my school as well.
