Does 2021 have a return policy?
Get ready for some real talk as we discuss hybrid learning, teaching among political unrest, and trying to stay positive while 2021 is shaping up to be a bigger dumpster fire than 2020.
When is the last time you asked yourself how you were *actually* doing?

P.S. - thank you to all of our listeners that stuck with us through 2020, we couldn't have gotten through the craziness without you. 

We are BACK for Season 2 of Tutti: A Podcast for New Music Educators!          
 
In the past 2 months, we have both started virtual learning, presented at a State Education Conference, Catie has started her marching band season, and we have had MANY late-night "What do I do?" phone calls.         
 
Now that we have a moment to breathe, we are here to dissect all of these feelings with you and talk about how we are handling teaching during a pandemic. 

In the meantime, Alexa, play "I Will Survive" by Gloria Gaynor. 

Happy Back to School! 

Confused about the fall? So are we. Tune in to our Season 1 finale (!!!) to hear us chat about virtual learning, teacher preservice week, and tips to take care of yourself while teaching during a global pandemic. 

How do we create peace in a moment? 

This week we had the absolute joy of chatting with Dr. Kevin Shorner-Johnson, Associate Professor of Music Education and the Dean of the School of Arts and Humanities at Elizabethtown College. In this episode, we discuss fostering mutuality, agency, and imagination within the music room with the inspiration of Mr. Rogers. We also chat with Dr. Shorner-Johnson on the 'Hamilton' Disney+ premiere, and feelings about returning to school this fall. We hope you enjoy this episode! 

YOU DID IT! YOU GOT THE JOB! 
Whether it's a whole summer or just a few weeks standing between you and that first day of school, it can be easy to feel stressed or anxious about what's to come. We are here to talk about some ways you can prepare NOW for a fantastic first year.  
Grab a coffee, a notebook, and your favorite teacher pen - let's get chatting!

Join us as we explore the do's and don'ts of interviewing! We perform a mock interview with common questions that you might be asked when applying for a music education job, and assist you in the best way of answering these questions. Let's get into it!

What does it mean to be an ally as a music educator? 

This episode features an Interview with Dr. Brandon Williams. Dr. Williams is an assistant professor of choral music and music education at Rutgers University. He teaches multiple courses related to choral music education and conducts the Rutgers Voorhees Choir. Dr. Williams is also a guest conductor, clinician, and presenter all around the United States. 

With him, we discuss effective allyship and resources that are necessary for music educators. 

Welcome to the first episode of Tutti: A Podcast for New Music Educators! Tutti is excited to begin building a community for new music educators. Catie Preszler and Haley Graham introduce the podcast and its goals, as well as a bit about themselves. Let's go!
