131- Adapting instruction for our new normal with Taylor Nardone

The Elementary Music Teacher Podcast: Music Education

This school year, you've probably had to adapt instruction... like a lot. This "new normal" can cause serious feelings of overwhelm, and to be honest, you probably miss teaching music like you usually get to in a regular school year. In this episode, I'm joined by Taylor Nardone, who shares how he's adapted his instruction for his students. He talks about finding the silver linings, setting up routines in his personal life, and remembering the big picture element. He also talks about the fact that this year will push us as music teachers to think outside of the box and think of different ways that students can still be excited about music.

The biggest piece about adapting instruction is:

• you can still do a log of movement
• you can still play instruments
• there are a lot of new things you can do with technology

Taylor Nardone is an elementary music teacher based on the eastern shore of Massachusetts. Passionate about giving each student an equitable opportunity to build a love and joy of music, he consistently strives to blend the newest teaching techniques into his practices. Taylor is currently in his fourth year of teaching.
