89- You can successfully teach music without ever taking a levels course

One thing I’ve been seeing around lately is how teachers don’t feel like they can be effective teachers without a levels course under their belt.  Remember that degree you received or that certification you worked towards?  Remember taking that Praxis test and the other teacher exams?  Remember keeping up your PD hours every year?  Remember being in the classroom and teaching music?  That matters too!  Coming into teaching elementary music whether new teacher or not, you won’t have a levels course under your belt and that’s ok.  You are there to teach music, which is the main goal, and your students need YOU!
