In Ms. Adkins' own words...
Hi! I’m
Angela Adkins and I am thrilled to be going on the LC2DC trip. I teach music
here at Louisburg College. You might see me at a basketball game with the
drumline, leading the Louisburg Chorale at an assembly or playing piano in
chapel. Or you might be a student in my Music Appreciation class. I love LC
students so wherever you see me, be sure to say hello.
I got
my Bachelor’s degree in music at Marshall University in Huntington, West
Virginia, close to my hometown of Louisa, Kentucky. For my Master’s degree I
studied clarinet performance at Ohio University in Athens. I also studied world music and improvisation
at Wesleyan University in Middletown, Connecticut.
I was
really glad when I was asked to go on the trip to DC. I think that sometimes
the learning that sticks best is the learning we do out in the world. I’ve
always loved a good road trip, and spending time with students is one of my
favorite things to do. That makes it a win/ win situation for sure. I’m really
excited to share some of my favorite things about Washington, D.C. with
students. Some of the memorials and monuments on the National Mall just take my
breath away every time I see them. I am also excited to visit the National
Museum of American History to see the exhibitions of jazz artifacts and musical
instruments.
If you
come with us to DC, I really hope that the trip will inspire you to think about
what you can do to make your mark. There is so much to see and discover. When
we keep on open mind, sometimes we can be touched deeply by stories and ideas
we never even knew before. I hope that your experience on this trip will help
you see the big picture in a way you never imagined.
