Today on the podcast, I’m joined by Laura Bartolomeo, a veteran elementary music teacher with nearly 40 years of classroom experience. Laura is the creator of Oodles of Music, a trusted resource for elementary music educators looking for practical, time-saving lessons.

Laura focuses on Orff-inspired teaching that keeps students moving, creating, and making music together. She helps teachers plan faster, teach with confidence, and build lessons that work in real classrooms.

Through Oodles of Music, Laura shares ready-to-use activities, instrument-based lessons, and flexible teaching strategies. Her work supports sustainability, creativity, and joy in the music room.
