Inspiring Music Teachers Podcast Jessica Sudduth

We're kicking off 2020 with our Back to School Series, where we chat with music teachers in a variety of situations to see how they're adapting their teaching due to the Covid19 pandemic.

In this episode, I talk with Nicole Avesani and discuss the transitions Covid has forced us to make, how her studio has continued to thrive, and how she's made online lessons a success. 

You can connect with Nicole on IG at @avesanivoicestudio or on her FB page, Avesani Voice Studio.

How do you reach students with music when they are not able to hear? 
It seems like an impossible task. But Kelly Surette is an adaptive music instructor who will inspire you to truly believe that ALL children can and should participate in musical experiences. 
Her upcoming book Creative Miracles: A Practitioner’s Guide to Adaptive Music Instruction, about her experience over the last decade teaching music to students with special needs and those who are Deaf and Hard of Hearing with disabilities, will equip you with practical tips and inspiring stories to prepare YOU to reach all students with music. And her blog focuses on all things music teacher, teaching music to special needs, how to make your music school more inclusive, and other topics important to today's music teacher.
In addition to teaching music, Kelly is a mom of two, and she also talks with us about balancing creative work with motherhood, how she was inspired to start writing, and the importance of pursuing your own passions.
