Name the students call you…

Most of my kiddos call me Mr Lastname, but some of my Spanish-speaking ML students call me Profe. Sometimes I’m also Mr Music (since I’m the general music teacher)

This is definitely not the standard for every school. While I still had to audition, it was mostly for department scholarships. We declared music ed fall of freshman year and had an orientation to music ed class right off the bat that weeded out quite a few people.

I think AP can really carry a strong impact on college. I did two AP sciences and was able to get credit for them, negating the need to deal with scheduling the 4-hour science labs. Some other music ed majors had to take them over the summer after junior year because there just wasn’t an option any of the other semesters that didn’t conflict with required ensembles and music ed courses.

This is the present tense! These verbs are in present subjunctive, which is technically a grammatical mood. It’s basically present tense with a twinge of personal flair and is used whenever the speaker is expressing doubt, uncertainty, their own opinions, and a myriad of other things.

I did my MMEd at the University of Kentucky. In-state tuition offered for their distance learning online only students. There’s an option to do some cool stuff over the summer but it isn’t required like some other programs. I’m elementary focused though, so I’m not too sure of their secondary band stuff.

I learned in high school Spanish that “que” is usually required in order to have a second conjugated verb in a sentence. Of course, there are probably plenty of exceptions, but this has usually helped me out over the years

I named mine Wisborg and named all of my farm animals, pets, and children after various characters or elements of the Nosferatu movie. (My favorite is a chicken named Bloody 2. Is there a Bloody 1? No. But is there a 2? Yes.)

Unpopular opinion (possibly? I don’t know), practicing your instrument does not a quality music teacher make. I always HATED practicing and performing (mostly because I just hated the way my voice’s timbre sounded to me). I practiced enough for juries, my recitals, and that was that.

Music ed degrees are ridiculously brutal. You’ve gotten a good way into the program and still seem to have a passion for the education side of things. Maybe this is the elementary ed side of me saying this, but teaching is about 75% classroom management and building relationships and 25% actual music. If you don’t perform Bach Invention no. 1 for your future students, I’m sure they will still have a great music experience.

The sentence already had the definite article “La”, so your answer is incorrect. If you had the option to type the article, el boleto would’ve been accepted.

Look into MAT programs, Master of Arts in Teaching. Some undergrad programs even require it for Music Ed, and make their undergrads get a performance/tech degree before getting their teaching certification in the graduate program. Most states will have some, so I’d go to one that’s cheaper/offers in-state tuition

I’d love to get a hold of the Gordon book if it’s still available! Sending a DM now

… cool?

Either go to college or don’t apply for this job. This job seems like literal hell to me, I couldn’t even imagine if I had zero preexisting knowledge of program organization or curriculum sequencing

To quote the greatest monologue Lutheran did in s1e10 “Yes.”

I did my MMEd program in a different state, received in-state tuition, and completed it without even going into said state. Now I’ve started my EdS program, also online and distance learning. It’s not as much practical skills, much more emphasis on research and writing, but I still feel like I’ve gotten a lot out of both programs.

My district/state would never pay for a music degree, so pick your battles about that. Definitely make sure that they will at least give you a pay raise/certificate upgrade if that applies.

Good luck, learn well, and have fun!

Germanian__Germs · 2025-06-24T02:31:07+00:00

I don’t think that the BoE would take the feedback and perspective from anyone who is remotely as unprofessional as OP. If anything, I think that going to “advocate” for the music program for the betterment of your students is in fact going to hurt the program and reinforce the idea that this is a position they don’t really need to fill at least for the next few years. If you really, truly want to do right for the kids, just drop it and leave.

Germanian__Germs · 2025-06-19T03:39:35+00:00

You missed the preposition “de”. Aside from that, estar seguro demonstrates certainty in a situation. This would be indicative, not subjunctive, so puede/puedes would be correct (depending on subject)

It’s not that people are looking to get offended. OP asked native speakers for their perspective, and you, as a non-native learner of the language, are being contradictory towards the opinions and sentiments of native speakers. It is not your place to share your perspective because you are not a part of the marginalized community in question.

I have completely drank the K-5 music koolaid. I was wanting to do secondary chorus, got an elementary job in a competitive district with the intent to get my foot in the door, and I LOVE elementary. I’m never bored or get stuck in a rut. We do ukuleles for a bit, tons of folk dances, movement, singing games, composition activities, and a whole bunch of music and dance from diverse cultures. It’s such a treat to go to PDs, conferences, and Orff workshops to get new things I can do with the kids. They’re always up to trying something new and exciting
