Needed music about cities to play to a class this morning. Having 30 six year olds singing 'Downtown' with Petula was the highlight of my day. #petulaclark #primaryteaching #musicteaching

Hey fellow #musictherapy and #musicteaching students and pros! Look who just joined us on BlueSky…
Time to start following some accounts. Id like to begin the pre-boarding process, starting with music therapists and music teachers. Send up a ‘hi’ and I’ll start building this little site up. I’ll move on to veterinarians and veterans next.

My timetable changes from September so I left a school this morning where I’ve taught ukulele for ten years. Lovely send off from the whole of KS2 and one child has remembered that fiddling with the tuning pegs is a definite no-no. #primaryeducation #musicteaching #ukulele

Schedule informal, low-stakes performances.
It could be as simple as inviting a class in to listen to a song they've been working on.
Or it could be a quick setup in the gym for a short, informal performance for a specific grade or class.

I literally had a nightmare about this last night. So far, I’ve been able to teach a wide range of music and composers and just flew under the radar….but I’m downright scared now.

Hey, do you know string instrument teachers or have a beginner student at home?
What if the material given to beginner music students for home practice were something that facilitates intuition and gives immediate feedback instead of being just ink on paper?

Hey, #MusicTeaching Bluesky, can you help?
I'm a Scottish drama teacher and amateur oboist who, back in the day when Twitter was ok, had a mutual with a left-leaning music teacher somewhere in England. I seem to have lost touch with her here on BlueSky.
We share a love of Freire.

Whatever the warm-up, have learners come up with something that fits the adjective.
If it's a scale, play it "spooky," or "rainy."
