I’m your host (and one of your presenters!)
I have 24 years of experience teaching elementary music–everything from K-7 general music, to band, choir, and strings! Now, I am an Arts Administrator, supporting all Unified Arts teachers in my district, and working with the Curriculum Team.
I blog at Aileen’s Music Room (formerly Mrs. Miracle’s Music Room) and have a music education podcast called The Music Room. I love sharing ideas with music educators all over the world, through summits, courses, and my TPT store.
I have lots of experience with Kindergarten, first, and second grade, and understand how exhausting it can be to manage and teach five-year-olds. Choosing the right repertoire and the right activities, so that students are engaged and challenged, can be so difficult! I’ve compiled these sessions for music teachers like you, who want to teach engaging lessons (but also save time!)
