I've been a middle school music teacher since January 2003. One of those years, I split my time and also worked at the high school teaching a music course (Music A-Z) for non-musical students. Now, I teach general music and choir to sixth, seventh, and eighth graders and love it.

Elements of Music Word Wall- Bulletin Board
This is a free bulletin board/ word wall idea for the elements of music: "It's Elementary, my dear musician!"
Pitch, Duration, Dynamics, Structure, Timbre, Silence, Tempo, Texture
Each element "vocabulary word" gets a page and you put words, symbols or images on that page to remind the students what each word is. For dynamics, there are the markings pp-ff and < and >. On the timbre page there is a list of adjectives the students can use when describing the tone color of pieces we listen to

Experience
I've been a middle school music teacher since January 2003. One of those years, I split my time and also worked at the high school teaching a music course (Music A-Z) for non-musical students. Now, I teach general music and choir to sixth, seventh, and eighth graders and love it.
Teaching style
Student centered. There is information that you have to sometimes get up in front of the class and explain or demonstrate, but the more the kids are active, in mind and body, the better. I want them thinking and figuring out rather than me showing and them simply regurgitating. I also want them to create music every chance they get (except creating a rhythm on the desk while someone is speaking). Doing, listening, creating, performing- helps them learn it.
Awards & shining teacher moments
My choir is a Music in the Parks and Festival of Music ratings "Excellent" or "Superior" winner over multiple years, as well as
Espirit de Corp award winners for many of those years. We have performed at MLB games singing the National Anthem.
