The Elementary Music Life with Erik Whitehill
Come and join me, elementary general music teachers... Come for a discussion of general music standards, objectives, and practices. Come for new material you can use in your classroom. Come for a funny story. Come for support after a hard day. Come to be respected, inspired, and celebrated. Come so I am not alone talking to a monkey puppet.
Episodes
This episode is an essay I wrote as I am struggling with teaching elementary general music via live stream on the internet. It is a call to focus more on student connection and less on state standards.
Feeling run down? Feeling uninspired? Feeling stressed? This short episode contains a framework for guided meditation in the hopes you can incorporate self-care in your teaching.
In this episode, I have provided two major segments:
- My top 10 suggestions for synchronously streaming elementary music classes
- Some selected passages from my Kindergarten Lunch and Recess Duty Journal
I feature a lot of websites in this episode. Here are the links:
- Synesthesia Listen and Draw Lesson from Teach Rock
- https://teachrock.org/lesson/drawing-music-hearing-colors-seeing-sounds
- Go Noodle - Guided Dances
- ...
In this episode, there’ll be two segments. The first is a brief biography telling how I ended up living an elementary music life and a bit of credibility building for those who don’t know me. The second part is an encouragement for all of us as we struggle to teach in this time of pandemic.
