I’ve been listening to your podcast for 3 years and am so thankful for the time, energy, expertise you share with us music teachers and love learning from all your incredible guests, too! Tuning in has certainly got me through some dark days in the elementary music room and given me (and so many of us!!!) tons of inspiration. I so appreciate all you do for the elementary music teacher community!🙏🏽❤️🎶 Thank you!✨

So helpful for this music teacher

I’ve only recently started listening to Podcasts during my morning drives into work to teach my 700+PK-5 music students. This has been so helpful especially during Covid. Also love the guests & having the difficult talks that need to be addressed 💜

So timely

Jessica’s podcast is so pertinent. Her information for all teachers is so timely whether your are a new teacher or a veteran. Let’s face it- teaching in the time of Corona we are all year one teachers again if you are in the classroom you r if you are teaching face to face. Her podcast is one of m favorites and I speak as a teacher with over 30 years experience.
