The Elementary Music Teacher Podcast: Music Education 90- Transitioning to a new school with Rachel Hahn
If you've ever transitioned to a new school, you know it feels like a transition for sure. There are so many things you need to process mentally and emotionally before starting at your new school. Whether you're about to transition to a new school, have already done so, or are just thinking about it, this episode will help you as you hear from Rachel Hahn about what it was like for her to make the decision to move school's and her mindset behind it.
Rachel Hahn teaches elementary music in Owasso Public Schools in the Tulsa, OK area. She is in her eighth year of teaching K-5 music. She previously taught in Broken Arrow Public Schools before switching districts this summer. She is a graduate of Oklahoma Wesleyan University and University of Nebraska-Lincoln, where she earned a Master of Music degree in Clarinet Performance. Rachel completed her Kodály certification at the University of Oklahoma in 2015. In 2017 she was chosen as a Fund for Teachers Fellow to travel to Austria to study the music and lives of Mozart, Haydn and Beethoven. She performed in the Classical Music Festival in Austria as part of her fellowship, performing music by these great composers in the original places they were performed hundreds of years ago! Rachel joined the music teacher Instagram community last year when she started her TpT store, Harmony with Mrs. Hahn (formerly Harmony with Ms. Hammon). Although her teaching schedule keeps her busy, she enjoys playing in her church orchestra, teaching clarinet lessons, serving as an accompanist, and playing the occasional gig.
