So helpful!
Carrie and Tanya share such valuable content as veteran elementary music educators! I love the format and know they they have helped me grow as a teacher myself. They encourage and inspire me every week!
A podcast for ALL music teachers!
I’ve been listening to Tanya’s and Carrie’s podcast for a while now, and it is absolutely one of my favorites! Music Teacher Coffee Talk Podcast is a great resource for new and experienced teachers. Being an elementary music teacher myself, I have used many of the useful tips and ideas discussed in these episodes. Their episodes are very informative that share great teaching ideas and practices, as well as fun things to do outside of the classroom.
Great show!
Felt in a bit of a rut as a long time music teacher, so I searched for music education podcasts to get fresh ideas and inspiration. This podcast delivers - I’ve listened to a dozen or so episodes and already made a big list of songs, resources, and other ideas I would like to use in upcoming lessons.
