Thanks for joining all those groups - you'd slipped into Fireside when I was paying little attention - so a belated welcome from Australia.
As a French horn player - if you enjoy musical parodies, such as P D Q Bach etc, you may particularly enjoy a piece called "Ill Wind" by the british comedy duo of Flanders and Swann. It's their setting of the best-known Mozart horn concerto...
I'll echo Connie's comments above about the Moomintrolls - delightful reading, and lovely light illustrations (never used them in a class, just enjoyed them as an an adult!)
Great to have you here. Yes, let's discuss and share ideas! I'm in an independent school, too. I hope you share some of your observations about music and gifted education (since you and your husband are musicians), along with tech, history, literature, an writing.
By the way, have you had your class read Finn Family Moomintroll? (I teach 4th and 5th grade, and it's a great favorite...)
