With each blog post I write, my hope is that you’ll get ideas you can implement in your classroom and home life right away.  Whether you’re just starting out in your teaching career or you’ve been teaching several years, you’ll find many ideas to inspire you each week.

Use the search button at the bottom of the elementary music blog page to find what you’re looking for.  You’ll find ideas to implement in your classroom or help for you as a teacher.  You don’t need to feel overwhelmed in your teaching journey and can find joy in your teaching again.
