Stepping into a new career as a music teacher is exciting! And even with loads of preparation and schooling, questions and feelings surface:

This is what I've always wanted to do!

I hope the administration supports my initiatives...

Am I really helping my students?

Do we have enough time to prepare for the concert?

Is it okay if I don't love my job 100% of the time?

With teaching, planning, working with administration, and connecting with parents, there's SO much to do. The first years of teaching are so busy that it can be hard to find the time to think outside of the box or reflect on your curriculum!

When we began as early-career music educators, we wished we had a resource filled with useful strategies, ideas, and questions to help us navigate the profession. Reflective Music Teaching provides a research-based, plain-English approach to helping you thrive in the first years of your teaching career. Whether you teach at a public school, lead a private studio, or teach at the local music shop, this book has suggestions for maximizing your teaching success - and the success of your students.

Reflective Music Teaching shares:

• easy-to-digest advice for all types of music teachers.
• real scenarios with multiple opportunities for self-reflection.
• tools to forge your own path and question "the way it's always been done."
• lesson plans for incorporating evolving technology.

Written by award-winning educators Erik Piazza, John Mills, and Danny Ziemann, this book details a flexible approach to student-centered teaching. With a combined 30-years of teaching experience, these authors have created the ultimate companion to traditional music education.
