😂 thats so funny and cute !

I've applied to have a student teacher for years! We are a big district and there are only so many student teachers. I do mentor new teachers every year, though.

Well my lesson plans for recorders, day 1 is down.

Thank you for making these videos! They help a lot! 🙂

Hey this was so helpful. Thank you so much

Great class! thank you very much for your video. Truly helpful.

I am transitioning to teaching music next year… thank you so much for your videos! Do you have your assessment materials available online?

What program do you use for the music?

Do you have a video about your musical rewards? I have a hard time thinking of ones that would be different enough from our regular activities to seem like a reward (other than freeze dance).

I recently switched to public schools. Who supervises the students behind the curtain or classes that are waiting (where)? At my old school (private) classroom teachers had attending concerts in their contracts. They had to sit with classes before/after they performed.

Great video, thanks for sharing!

I don’t get it

omg i wish my music teacher in elementary did this. all she did was make up clap some beats every class throughout the whole class time. My first year of middle school my school still required to take music and she yelled at the class for no reason and threw her shoes at us. Last year they let us choose our electives and i will never choose any of her’s because of how rude she was to me and my class

This video still helps today! I am currently about to teach form to my students this week and trying to figure out the right approach thank you so much for the ideas and resources you provided!

Good teacher

Music class best class. Great pep talk. =)

I'd like to give another alternative rest position, which is pretty standard when you get into higher grades (or even professional contexts). Chest/stomach. I.e., holding the instrument straight up and down, but dropping it down against your chest. Like your "chin rest" (which I also hate), but lower. It's useful for anyone who ends up playing clarinet, sax, oboe, or similar woodwinds (not necessarily brasswinds) in middle or high school. And even brasswinds, while not the same, have a somewhat similar rest position.

So... that zero with the slash is called "null". Anyway... O...M...G. I loved this video. I could geek out on assessments all day long. Not a music teacher... I'm an english (EFL) teacher. But... wow. I've seen (and have tried to correct) some absolutely terrible assessment rubrics. I knew you were legit when I saw actual numbers. I do the same thing. 0 mistakes, 1-2 mistakes, 3-5 mistakes, etc. I think the most important thing I learned in my Uni assessments course was that, given a rubric, 10 different teachers should all come up with the exact same grade. So, you know, no subjectivity whatsoever. That said, quick shout-out that I came from another of your videos. In my free periods, if a music class is scheduled, I often sit in on the class. As a musician, I love helping kids with music, so I really appreciate your videos. I'm currently teaching at elementary schools (overseas), so I'm excited about trying to learn more about early childhood music pedagogy. I even bought a soprano recorder so I could follow along with the lessons. You have a new subscriber!

good instructions thanks Susan

i appreciate the time it took you to make this vid, keep it up you will make a difference in someone life.
