I teach Elementary General and Vocal Music, which is just my favorite thing to do!

I have the privilege of working with K-4th graders and college educators, too. Even when it gets challenging and I'm tired, I love my job. It is a necessary and noble endeavor that I am proud to do. On the Music Ed Amplified Podcast, I chat with all kinds of amazing guests about real life music teaching. We talk about the joys and challenges on the path of working to create a joyful anti-bias, anti-racist, anti-ableist musical classroom in which all students are seen, heard, valued, and celebrated. Most importantly, I strive to amplify the important voices of BIPOC and disabled experts in the field of music education and beyond.

On the "Music Ed with Missy" Facebook and Instagram accounts I want to encourage and support music ed and teacher colleagues around the world and I also share free activities, resources, and ideas to help students and teachers experience more music, joy, justice, and genuine connection.

You can check out my Move, Play, and Read Along with Dr. Strong (and sometimes Owen!) activities over on the Music Ed with Missy YouTube channel.

Another way to support me and my work is my Teachers Pay Teachers store.

Please consider supporting this work with a stand-alone gift here (repeatable if/when you'd like) when you make a donation by "buying me a tea" or become a member where you can contribute on a regular basis and enjoy some fun perks along the way.

Thank you!
