I love teaching my rock and roll history class to 6th graders. It gives them a perspective on the music they love that often they had no idea about. I love teaching my Middle School Band-- those are the kids that really love to perform. They bring an energy that is awesome! I love exposing kids to the ukulele and guitar. I am intent on producing more guitarists in the world!

Three Things I’m Excited About Teaching in My Classroom:

1. Helping Students Discover Their Musical Voice
I’m especially excited to help students—especially the youngest ones—explore how music can be a personal form of expression. I want students to feel confident making sound and telling stories through music.

2. Introducing Americana and Folk Instruments
Teaching guitar, ukulele, mandolin, and banjo as part of an Americana-focused program is something I’m really looking forward to. These instruments are accessible and rich in cultural heritage, and they give students hands-on experience with melody, harmony, and rhythm in a way that feels authentic and fun.

3. Connecting Music to What Students Are Learning in Other Subjects
I’m excited to integrate music with what students are exploring in history, language arts, or social studies. For example, if a class is studying the Great Depression, we might learn Dust Bowl ballads and talk about how music captured the emotions of that time. These connections help students see music as a reflection of culture and history and make learning in both subjects more meaningful.

Definitely using it for cues of what to do; less teacher directions. Definitely use it for calming after lunch and getting kids excited about new topics. - Rebecca

I feel like music already surrounds everything in my life. This is what we already do, we have soft music in the background during a calm work session. I make up songs to help explain a situation or to make a transition more fun. And of course, brain breaks! We personally love GoNoodle.

My classroom management strategy is a symphony! I use music from the moment children arrive until the moment they leave! It is the scaffolding upon which the routine is built.

I can incorporate music into middle school classrooms by:

1. Having music on at the start and end of classes from a playlist the students create.

2. Calming/ quiet music while working

3. Transitions
