**Section 1: Introduction**
My name is Evan Canel. I teach at Edgewood, Braeside, Lincoln, Ravinia and Red Oak. Yes...that is 5 schools. My job is to teach Band and Jazz Band. If you would like to take a peak at what happens in my classroom, what my students are learning, how I communicate with parents and a little listen of what the first month in 5th grade band is like, take a peak at my Blog. The thing I love about my job is the the simultaneous humor and sense of accomplishment that I feel with the students as they go from squeek and squawk to concert ready.

**Section 2: Favorite Things **

 * My kids giggling until they snort
 * Any book by Mark Helprin, Leon Uris or Roald Dahl
 * A good rough sail in late October
 * A performance of Mahler I, preferably with the time to actually sit and listen to it

**Section 3: Burning Question **
//From your perspective, in what way did the subject matter that you teach (or participate in) react to the coming of the new century? Can you identify a trend as you look back at previous markers such as decades or centuries?// For example: In music we see a trend at every century that composers begin to use more dramatic, anxious techniques. Dissonance becomes more prevalent, text more desperate, etc.

**Section 4: Web 2.0 Stuff **
This is "The BraeLincViniOak" is our band mascot for the combined 5th grade bands of Braeside, Lincoln, Ravinia and Red Oak schools.

A friend of mine is a cartoonist and one night at dinner asked me what the heck a "BraeLincViniOak" is. He thought it sounded like some kind of furry woodland creature and started to doodle it. You can see more of Matt Hanneman's work at his site HERE.
