I am trying to get a sense of a typical class load for other elementary school music teachers? I feel like my schedule is fairly heavy but am not positive. I have 4th and 5th graders, 33 classes per week (which includes 4 beginning band/orchestra sections, and 29 general music), 45 minutes long, just under 700 students. In addition this past year I had 4 days of 20 minute lunch duty.

I'm hoping others would be willing to share their schedule?

Mrs H I teach K-5 in 2 schools, with a total of about 520 students. I get everyone once a week for 45 minutes, and then I get one class each K-5 a second time, also for 45 minutes. That one class rotates each quarter (we have 4 classes per grade level between the 2 schools). 6 classes a day.

to be much better. I used to teach three 30 minute classes
a day (k-2) and three 45 minutes classes a day (3-5) but...See More
