My family and I are looking to relocate and I am an elementary music teacher. I've always been at the same school. When does the hiring season begin? Do I need to wait until jobs are posted or can I submit my packet to districts we are interested in? I am curious to hear from those who have gone through this transition. (We are moving to a new state.)
I am a music ed student, I have two questions about teaching general music here.
If during the teaching process, some students are always silent and unwilling to participate in teaching activities, how should teachers involve these students?
If elementary school is financially capable, what grades of students can start learning music through keyboards?
Responsibilities include Grade 1-3 general music, and 4-6 performing music.
For performing music, you would become part of a team of 4 people who teach beginning band, as in clarinet, flute, trumpet, etc, guitar, violin or strings, and chorus. You would have one home school site, plus travel to three other schools.
Position includes paid travel time (as in on the clock), two hours per week of planning time, mileage reimbursement.
You must be credentialed in Music in California, or able to complete the requirements for getting your out of state credential cleared for teaching in California. The position is in Santa Rosa, CA, which is about an hour north of San Francisco.
Hello, I am taking my music exam (FTCE) on Saturday. Can someone share any resources with me, please? You can send it to my email: ericmusicbiz@gmail.com
Here is a link to my TPT with FREE resources that you can download. I just really want to get this out there, so kiddos can benefit, but also dont want to pay an arm and a leg for advertising on something I am giving away for free.
I have been using this great rehearsal and training app with my choirs and I wanted to share it with you now because, due to COVID, they are giving it away for free to both choir directors and their entire choir(s). The app is called Harmony Helper and it has had an enormous impact with my three choirs.
All you need to do is fill out this contact form and someone from the app will connect with you to set up your group(s).
