Chaotic Harmony

It's August! It's a new school year! And this is Marc's last episode as he's taken the position of Chula Vista's Visual and Performing Arts coordinator. In this episode, we reflect on the many transitions happening, on how we we're getting old and don't understand Zoomer memes, on what it means to be getting mature in the profession, and we look to what is to come during this new season and new year. There's a lot of laughs as well. Come join us!

This whole year, Chula Vista VAPA has been in distance learning. I'm sure many of you music teachers have been in the same. This week, we talk about what we anticipate as things come back in. After over a year of seeing us only on computers, how are we going to bring kids back into the analog classroom? Do things change? How do we navigate the parameters? We tackle all this, so join us!

We get it. We’re music teachers. We understand what we do and we understand our value. But to outsiders, it’s hard to define what we do. After all, it just looks like we’re only having fun. So what do music teachers do and how specifically do we help grow children? Crystal, Marc, and Jon dig deep into this discussion. Join us!
