218- Teaching Music to a Large Class

Sometimes, you’ll get a class that has more students in it than normal.  Or, there might be a certain day you’re asked to combine classes since a teacher on your electives team is out for the day. It gets a little overwhelming trying to teach that many students and it’s easy to feel stuck. I’ve been there and done that and know how much it feels like you’re herding cats.  If you’re needing ideas for teaching a larger class size, this episode (and this accompanying blog post with other helpful blog posts included inside) will share the exact strategies that worked for me.
