Matching Pitch

Sometimes I forget just who my audience is.

Today, I was talking to one of my 8th grade classes about a song I am teaching them. I was explaining how I want them to all eventually be able to match pitch.

Suddenly I was inundated with a chorus of "Ooooohhhhhh..."

You know, when a kid does that "Ooooooohhhh...you're in trouble!!" sound?

I stopped and gave them my patented one-raised-eyebrow-teacher-death-glare and waited. It took me a full 30 seconds to realize.

"Oh, for heaven's sake. I said PITCH. Puh! Puh-itch!!"

Never a dull moment, no siree.
