My Kodály inspired music teacher friend Carrie and I just posted our first episode of our new music teacher podcast Music Teacher Coffee Talk!
This is our opportunity to share songs, activities, and our experiences from the music classroom. (And more coffee time time for us! 😉)
For each episode we'll focus on a main topic. First up is a couple of our favorite holiday music activities. We also share highs and lows (successes and challenges,) from our teaching week, plus a coda section where we give professional and/or personal recommendations and random music things we love.
Carrie and I seem to spend a lot of time "talking shop" and know we're just sharing our conversation with you.
We plan to upload an new episode every two weeks. If you are interested in keeping up with the podcast, please subscribe through iTunes!
Just search Music Teacher Coffee Talk.
