Elementary music can be a lonely job. Music specialists are typically the only ones in the building that teach music. Without someone to talk to, it is difficult to come up with lesson ideas, deal with classroom management, and just know what to do. My name is Becca, and I am an elementary music teacher. I am here to help other elementary music teachers feel confident and excited to teach their students. Between lesson plans, teaching inspiration, and practical tips to improve your elementary music classroom, you will feel ready to take on the classroom!I can't wait to chat!

Customer Reviews
Perfect resource for elementary music!
Becca is FABULOUS! *chef’s kiss*
I found Becca’s podcast and blog in the summer of 2021. I had been a band director for 8 years and was stepping into a new role as elementary music teacher, and I knew what I wanted to teach these little ones, but I didn’t quite know how! (At least, I’m an engaging and developmentally appropriate way!)
I’ve been devouring everything Becca has to teach about elementary music (girl, I love centers just as much as you do!) and I’m still learning so much. I’ve used so many of her lesson tips and tricks in the classroom and they have been successful. Thank you, Becca, for being an amazing teacher and resource for this old “new” teacher!
