About the store
My name is Megan and I have been teaching since 2013. My TPT store has been open since 2013!
I have experience teaching K-8 general music and 6-8 band and choir. I have experience teaching music based clubs such as hand bells, and small special choirs. While teaching in St. Louis I was also a theater director for three years.
I have my Bachelors of Music Education k-12 and my Masters of Science, Curriculum & Instruction. I am also an internationally certified henna artist.
I am easily able to change music to alpha notes or chroma notes depending on your needs. If you are interested in editing your music contact me at Magpiesmmt@gmail.com. On my page you will find music recreated to incorporate the use of solfege, alpha note heads, and chroma notes (colored note heads) to be used with colored pitched instruments.
I currently teach elementary music grades K-3. For more free resources check out my YouTube channel "The Music Magpie" Check back frequently for new products! Thank you!
