What is general music like in WA's elementary schools? Do
all schools have a certified music teacher? Do students
receive general music instruction every week? twice a week?
Does it vary greatly from school to school? Is Orff or
Kodaly used? I'm considering relocating to Washington or
Oregon, but am worried about job security with all of the
cuts to arts programs due to No Child Left Behind. Has that
been an issue in Washington?

I love the Anchorage schools and consider myself lucky to
be teaching here (13 years!). I'm an NBCT in early
childhood music, have an M.S. in Music Ed., teach as an
adjunct for the university here as well.

Orff is...See More
