It doesn't take much to impact a life...sometimes

https://www.musicandnarrations.com/ [https://www.musicandnarrations.com/] In this episode, I describe a special moment of inspiration with one of my kiddos and do some reminiscing about my own teachers from the past who impacted me as a student. Hopefully, you can find some inspirational nuggets as you listen to take with you when you encounter your students, or other parts of your everyday life!

SELf-Care...& CREATE

https://www.musicandnarrations.com/ [https://www.musicandnarrations.com/] Self-care and SEL (Social Emotional Learning) fits like a hand in glove. Not only do our students benefit from both, but we teachers need it too! In this episode, I premiere a relevant song dealing with SEL concepts and tackle the importance of recognizing an ongoing issue - self-care for music educators.
