We’d like to share a few of our favorite music education websites, podcasts and Facebook groups. As we move into the summer, you might have more time to read and listen to content that will help you become a better teacher. Here are some ideas to get you started:
Facebook Groups (Great discussions going on in these groups!)
Beginning Band Engagement Group – This chat room is for band directors who are wanting to learn and share ideas for quality, meaningful and fun teaching activities for beginning band.
