"Music In Schools Today" - PLN

This website includes places to find and apply for teaching positions, information on receiving further educational training, and various ideas to add to your curriculum. The online resources provide lesson plans and places to obtain sheet music and join professional organizations. Several other websites can be found for all grade levels in another section of this website. Students have their own section of the website, which helps them become more motivated to practice, join a band, and have opportunities to contact professional musicians. This website is great for all musicians and is very easy to search through, an excellent website to use for first year music educators and any student with a passion to excel.

  1. What a great resource, Alyssa. One of the items on the front page is for a Chinese opera curriculum. We focused on that in World Music last year, with Joanna to help explain things. For those who are not lucky enough to have Joanna's help, that section would be a great tool.

  2. I agree that this website will be especially useful for pre-service teachers who are about to enter the work force. The job opportunities and online resources will be helpful for new teachers who are not aware of these important organizations or websites.
