Tracy Bonham built a reputation as a "badass rocker" with "Mother, Mother," a powerful anthem that made it to #1 on Billboard's "Alternative Rock" charts. The song and her "The Burdens of Being Upright" album were nominated for two Grammy awards and led to arena tours with Aerosmith and the Blue Man Group.

The new enterprise is aimed at teaching a younger audience she lovingly calls "young music enthusiasts." Inspired by Sesame Street, Electric Company and School House Rock, she created an innovative, music education curriculum for pre-school children. In April 2021, Tracy released her first children's album, Young Maestros along with a series of music videos.

I'm always looking for new ideas to use for creative movement in the classroom.  There was a video that came across my social media feed of a large group performing choreographed hand movements that were sharp and precise.  The performers wore all black clothing and sat in a riser formation.  They used their arms and hands to create motions that moved in straight lines, parallel lines, and in canon.  This is called tutting. In today's episode I share the process I have been using to teach my students how to tut.  Tutting can be done with the entire body, but we've focused only on the hands and arms.  You'll hear how to get started with performing tutting in your classroom, allow students to create movements within the piece, and selecting music to use. Head to my website (www.jessicagrant.org) to access show notes that include links to videos and articles about tutting.  Click on the Podcast tab and find Episode 240.

Sometimes, you'll get a class that has more students in it than normal. Or, there might be a certain day you're asked to combine classes since a teacher on your electives team is out for the day. It gets a little overwhelming trying to teach that many students and it's easy to feel stuck. I've been there and done that and know how much it feels like you're herding cats. If you're needing ideas for teaching a larger class size, this episode (and this accompanying blog post with other helpful blog posts included inside) will share the exact strategies that worked for me.

In this episode, I highlight some of the most overlooked secrets that when utilized will help with successfully teaching music online. Secret #1: Audio is more important than video for the most part Secret #2: Teaching can be done in real time and asynchronously with both one on one students and groups Secret #3: Lesson plans are vital to getting the most out of teaching time Secret #4: You can use other people's content in your teaching as long as you do it right Secret #5: You don't need to amass a huge following on social media or YouTube to be successful at building an online music education business. If you are thinking about expanding with courses, membership sites, group programs, workshops, so on and have questions about the tech and the strategy, please book a call with me by going to https://callwithjaime.com. When it comes time to create a profitable, successful online music education business, it's a matter of building the right combination of offers. One-on-one lessons alone are not going to do it.
