Twice a week for 40 minutes

like

I do shows with 1/2 my students each semester. Those doing the show have music M, W, F, and those not performing come T, Th. The next semester, we swap schedules. Elementary Music class was 30 minutes. Middle school is 50.

Once a week for 45 minutes

2x a week, 45 minutes each for grades1-4. 2x a week 30 minutes each for kindergarten. 1x a week 35 minutes for 5-6.

Fairly yes. We have about 45-55 in a grade ( 3 sections of about 17) I see about 350 students.

Once a week 50 minutes

Once a week for an hour. But this coming year we might get an extra hour with each class every 3 weeks

Once a week for 25 minutes. I see five back to back classes in a roll without a break between them. A class will be waiting in the hallway as I let the previous class out I’ve been fighting that schedule for years. It’s not enough time with the students and I need a moment to breathe 😰

All classes are 40 minutes, Kindergarten is once a week, and 1-5 are twice a week. The schedule doesn’t fit everyone in, so 7 classes are seen by another music teacher who comes once a week.

Everything got switched, now everyone is 2x a week for 35 minutes.

I see grades 1-5 for 55 minutes a week, split into 25 and 30 minute classes, back to back with the PE teacher, so we trade classes at a designated break in the block. It’s a challenge to remember which class is 25 and which is 30, especially with 3 classes per grade. Seriously, would 60 minutes really be that hard to pull off!??? I also see kindergarten, but that schedule is so wackadoodle this year I won’t even get into it.

Hey all, wanted to be candid with a bowl of my own people and get your thoughts.

My mom (east Asian) eloped with my dad (pacific islander) and got disowned by the family. Mom moved to the US, dad ditched her, and my mom raised 3 kids alone in the US. We grew up in absolute poverty.

Culturally I'm 100% East Asian, I have an East Asian last name, I probably look mostly East Asian except I have broad shoulders and much more muscle mass than your typical Asian.

Is it wrong for me to apply (cont)

Additional Posts in Elementary Music Teachers

Hey! I’m planning to take an Orff Level 1 course this summer. Any tips, tricks, or advice as I prepare? Also, what other trainings would you recommend for elementary general music teachers? Thanks in advance!

What are some of your favortie end of year activities?

What are some VERY SIMPLE yet engaging activities (that don’t involve paper and pencil) that you use on the first days of general music? I teach 4th and 5th grade.

Did anyone else’s back-to-school plan not include music at all? I’ve been told I’m still supposed to teach music this year, but they haven’t announced any plans for it yet. You’d think the classes that contain the most students per day would be a higher concern 🙃

Just heard that my district will have classroom and live-recording learning. I’m thankful because I now can feed my family, my newborn and a recent-sponsored wife! I’m scared because I’m almost 50 and I’m afraid I might catch the virus and die leaving behind my 1 month baby and a wife who is not legal in the state yet! The USCIS or Trump’s dept. thinks she’s not good enough to be in the US!! We applied for green card and SS card since August 2019!

Hi can you advertise here? I teach private piano-flute and violin lessons online

How do you set up your classroom? What can you tell me about how often you use instruments? What do you do to make them accessible? Thanks so much.

I have a hand full of k-5 students who have gone the first half of the school year without music because of remote learning. Our district is moving to 100% traditional teaching after the MLK holiday. Any suggestions for reintroducing concepts to the group of students that’ll be joining us f2f for music the first time this school year?

Hi! Can someone recommend a source for learning how do simple, fun music lessons on Zoom? I teach first grade and use music for my transitions. I would also like to play songs for them with my guitar, but am concerned it won’t sound good on zoom (the guitar, not my voice, which is bad, we established that long ago)

How are you preparing your music classroom for long term shut down?
I put small stuff away. Covered all shelves, floor drums, Orff instruments with sheets to deter dust accumulation.
