Listening Ear

Listening Ear,  by Mark Weltner

Self-regulation, self-awareness, cooperation

This doesn’t need accompaniment; some classes sing it as they play. One teacher created a new verse which they taught me: If I had a listening eye, no telling what I might spy!

I wrote it after reading a blog post from a class that was having class discussions about what it meant to listen, and someone said that you had to listen with your mind.
