I watched this is part of my teaching observations, and while there's so much you did amazing on, I have to applaud you for how well you kept your lesson moving at a pace that your students didn't seem overwhelmed with and still keeping them engaged. That's such an amazing skill! Keep on going and God Bless you!
I'm trying to figure out where the heck she was when I was growing up! She is incredible and it's evident in how engaged and astute her students are. Job well done!
This is just what I need. Starting a band program on my 27th year of teaching. Although I interned in a Middle school in 1994, I'm a guitar player and was never part of band growing up. We recently got a brand new state of the art building for music and Art complete with top of the line equipment, truly a dream come true. I'm now in the process of immersing myself in the " Band World" and will go all the way to ensure my students become the best band in our area. Of course I'm aware I cant do it alone so I'm trying to create a team of willing and able educators and volunteers in my area down in South Dade County. Any suggestions are welcome. I feel this video has so much to offer me, I will study it and apply these concepts many of which I presently apply in my music classroom. I love it, as I said Just what I need
I can't imagine any of these kids would go into private lessons saying the all-too-common (after a few months or years of playing): "I don't know what a key or time signature is, don't know what any of the terms on the page mean, and have never played with a metronome." She's setting up them up BEAUTIFULLY from the beginning to know their basics thoroughly. KUDOS TO HER!!!
What middle school is this, This is a great teaching style, teaching them the basics and really making it clear, motivating them to practice and become amazing musicians. If I ever become a band director I’m looking at this video immediately to help guide.
Dang this was so cool to watch, very inspiring teaching! Preparing for my first full time primary music teaching position! I'll be checking back here for tips! Thank you Mrs. Johnson!
I'd love to know what your first lesson of the year looks like, you can really tell they know ready position and how to share out appropriately, that takes time to build!
How do you teach the warmups? Do you have written material or any books you use to get them to this point where you have a routine and they can fluently make it through the warmup consistenly.
She a serous teacher my band teacher is silly and wwird but when a concert is close she get mean she can teach and be silly really well ppl love her but I like this teacher style
Hey girl I did some research and this is PeachTree Charter Middle School. I didn't find the grade level but since it's beginning band I'm guessing 6th and maybe 7th grade.
AND.....DON'T EVER slam your instrument down hard. Not never, ever. Regardless of what it is you play. That isn't towards the awesome teacher, it was towards the students.

1. I love a music teacher that emphasizes a metronome, breathe and scales. You will never go wrong if you have those three in placce.

This is incredibly helpful, thank you so much for sharing!
So much substance in just over 40 minutes.
This teacher is excellent. Well done!!!
I would like to see this from the beginning when you're first teaching everyone how to play and how you keep the room engaged then
I'd love to know what your first lesson of the year looks like, you can really tell they know ready position and how to share out appropriately, that takes time to build!

Galaxy Panda makes no difference breathing exercise is breathing exercise
There are many different types of breathing exercises. Some kids and teachers prefer different ones.
