6 VOL.18, NO.4 • IN TUNE MONTHLY • TEACHER’S EDITION intunemonthly.com This was a painful year for many teachers and students. We are all in the midst of a pivotal moment, and there’s more to many of our stories than meets the eye. This A PIVOTAL MOMENT past January, I received the By 2020 GRAMMY Educator Award winner, 2020 GRAMMY Music Educator Mickey Smith Jr. Award. It was an amazing thing, but it came to me in the midst of great personal loss. This is a part of my story that few know. I share it here with my fellow music and movement teachers in the hope that it might help and encourage others. – Mickey Smith Jr.

ROM COAST TO COAST and class to class we all are having to pivot while struggling not to take things personally. It’s critical that we don’t lose ourselves in the process of persevering during the pandemic. At the same time, 2020 has helped Fmany recognize that sometimes the greatest gains in life can emerge from the feelings experienced by our greatest losses. For me, having my teaching, my classroom, and most importantly my students recognized nationally by one of music’s greatest organizations was a pivotal moment indeed, but I had no idea last winter how it would prepare me for what was to come. I had been working for over two decades developing my craft in order to create a better classroom experience for the children I teach when I was recognized on the music industry’s largest stage. The moment was a professional pinnacle, but the GRAMMY pictures didn’t tell the whole story. Over the prior 12 months, I had su ered seven signi cant losses. I lost a mentor, a brother, a friend and four beloved family members. My grief was unfathomable. The most di cult was the loss of my cousin Lisa. Lisa knew that I had been working with

It can. • I promise those waves of grief that knock you o your feet will become smaller, less violent. You will be able to stand and Mickey standing with various awards let them wash around you, not over you. • I promise that walking won’t always feel like you’re dragging your legs through treacle; breathing won’t always be something you have to remember to do. • I promise you won’t always be winded by someone else’s happiness - their social media updates and photographs. You will smile and feel glad that they have something special, and that you once had it too. • I promise you will be able to say their name without crying. That you will share a memory GRAMMY In The Schools and was up for recognition – not and feel wistful; sad, but not broken. just for myself, but for my program and my school.
