Happy reading! 🥰🎵📚#learningthroughliteracy #mindset #pianopossibilities #raisingbookworms #musichistorymadefun I’m raising little bookworms at my house, which typically means we try to reach for books before screens. But this classic children’s book has been one of our favorites for a long time, and we just discovered the most beautifully done video with full orchestration accompanying the story 😍 this is the kind of thing making my music teacher heart so happy on this rainy Ohio day! Link in the comments 👏🏼 #whatarewelisteningtowednesday #ericcarle #theveryhungrycaterpillar #learningthroughliteracy #scholastickids Once upon a time there was a little girl who needed hearing aids… A few books to check out this month … perfect for both home and studio learning! #aprilmusicbooks #learningthroughliteracy #pianopossibilities #raisingbookworms Fun little thrift find this week 😍 I already own “Because” and LOVE it … so couldn’t pass up less than a dollar on a pristine copy to have a separate for home and studio 👏🏼 #pianopossibilities #thriftfinds #musicteachersread #learningmusicthroughliteracy Getting my students to actually look at a score before learning the music? Sometimes it just makes too much sense for it to be reality 🫣 but I’ve learned that repeating these simple questions early and often get my youngest students on board and becoming better practicers for life … grab this freebie and join me in March by making repetition a little less boring for St. Patty’s day! #pianopossibilities #musicteacher #scorestudy #freebies Happy Monday! Your job matters. You matter. And you can do this! 💪🏼👊🏼 #pianopossibilities #mondaymotivation #musicteachinglife I’ve seen a lot of discussion lately on how or even whether or not to plan for your student’s lessons. And I get it … time is short, we’re only paid so much, and so much can change as soon as a student walks through the door (have they even taken the books out the car this week?!). Thought I’d share my two cents and what’s been helping me sort through some of the chaos lately 🙂 blog post link in the comments ⬇️ would love to know your thoughts and what works for you! #pianoteaching #pianopossibilities #lessonplanning #organizethechaos Just finished listening to this gem and loved it 😍 extra exciting that there’s a picture book that pairs perfectly! “Can’t We Be Friends” is historical fiction (which is a genre I love!), but I learned so much about both Ella and Marilyn. The audio book is read by 2 actresses which made it a fun listen as well. This is the perfect read to include both your young and older students alike! #pianopossibilities #learningthroughliteracy #bookworm #blackhistorymonth #musichistory
