One day, you might find yourself at a school where you're responsible for building the music program from the ground up. This was my exact situation, and is also the story of my guest Natassia Perrine. In this episode, she shares her journey from going from teaching high school music to teaching elementary music at a school that didn't have any resources or a budget for her to work with. I love this entire conversation and throughout our discussion, she talks about:
Natassia Perrine is a music educator, content creator and speaker currently serving Prek - 4th grade students in New Orleans. Before making the switch to elementary music 2017, Natassia taught high school choir and theatre in Ireland, Alabama and Rhode Island. In response to the pandemic, Natassia created a YouTube channel - Music with Ms. P - to share lessons with her students and yours, too. Natassia is passionate about creating new music curricula that centers and celebrates her students, provides opportunities for social and emotional growth and uses children's literature to expand her students' musicianship and literacy skills. In addition to her work in the classroom, Natassia is an active professional development facilitator and resource creator, and loves to connect with fellow music educators and pre-service teachers!Links mentioned in this episode:
