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.
