Wow, it's been a long time since I posted on this blog . . . a lot of changes in my own life, and all my children are grown now.
But I'm still working in the field of education-- learning and teaching are both things I really enjoy doing.
Since 2010, I've been working as a tutor . . . so a variety of ages of students, with a variety of different needs (kind of like homeschooling . . .). And also, I have had the opportunity to teach some music classes for preschoolers, and give piano and ukelele lessons (what could be more fun than all those things?).
I still have a website with educational related information and curriculum available, but alas -- it is in great need of remodeling . . . and time has been scarce to work on that, but it is something I am very much wanting to do- hopefully sooner than later. Here is the website as-is: www.gentleshepcurr.com
I think there will be some more teaching/learning materials to come, since working in tutoring gives me a way to try out different ideas.
Also, I'm pursuing activities in visual art such as making lots of color pencil drawings, a few paintings, and some with misc. other media. I completed a graphic arts degree in 2019 and started putting some artworks in art shows, misc galleries, and making some cards and prints. If you'd like to see a few of the pictures, there are some here: www.dianehurstart.com
Besides the visual art things, I really enjoy playing music, writing songs, and basically doing anything/everything with music. I have a music blog that I've kept up with a little better than this one, and there is a songwriter website, too: www.dianehurstmusic.com
Meanwhile, have a happy end of November. I think my next post will be about LEAVES.
