Elementary general music teachers and professional development
kindling the spark, fanning the flame, and keeping an eye on the fire
Alison M. Reynolds
pp. 275-286
What does it feel like to be a music teacher? In this chapter, I credit a Chinese music education professor's story with sparking my research into how elementary music teachers in the United States describe feeling like a music teacher, and meaningful professional development. I share two of seven music teachers' stories, adding the voice of the second teacher's principal. I also share how my Chinese colleague's declaration of change inspired change within me, thinking about my feeling like a music teacher, considering new questions about professional development for experienced music teachers, and continuing to seek a work-life balance.
