I am a music teacher that serves more than 500 students in an inner city school. Classes are from Kinder through 5th grade. These classes meet every three days for a period of 45 minutes (7 classes a day). I also run two after school choir programs (one choir for 4th/5th grade and one choir for 2nd/3rd grade) and after school recorder classes (3rd, 4th and 5th graders). I work with some great kids and can't think of a better way to spend my days.
