Middle School General Music: The Best Part of Your Day


Once you get into the book a bit there are more teaching ideas. I like to high light and write notes in the margin to help me remember my first impression of how I may want to incorporate an idea. My school year is half way done and I will say the two general music classes have been very stimulating and enjoyable. I have taught orchestra for 25 years and this is the first time I am teaching classroom music.

I wanted to make sure I had a good attitude going into it! It was a book that really made you want to teach. I think we have all been in that state of limbo where we think we chose the wrong major, this changes it. Quick, easy read, Great tips.
