Melissa Graham –
This is a great read for those beginning their music teaching career and those of us that have been teaching for a while and want some new ideas. I love the embedded links so I can see exactly what is being talked about and have my own copy to use and edit. The “Unmentionables” section was such a good reminder about the people around us and a must-read for any new teacher. I also appreciated the ideas for distance learning and how the breakdown of several different online tools. It helped me decide which ones might work for me without being overwhelming. Her podcast, Afternoon Ti goes even further with more great ideas and topics.
