I vividly remember the excitement of my journey as a music teacher. I was thrilled to teach music and share my music passion with my students. However, I quickly discovered the daunting task of creating a music resource that effectively engaged students’ interest in learning.
I remember spending hours just on one music resource with multiple sections to plan. It seemed like an impossible task to teach music at my best without giving up essential family and personal time.
See how I transformed from a challenging year that drove me to question my decision to pursue teaching to becoming a seasoned music teacher creating an engaging and inspiring music resource you can tap into today!
