@4BetterEducatio More musical experiences for the students, less of a focus on the data collection portion

[Mr. Barney Music @ABarneyMusic]

When your students can’t stop chanting the poem or doing the body perc you used with them and the teacher has to beg them to stop. #lovewhatyoudo #proudmusicteacher

[Mr. Barney Music @ABarneyMusic]

@4BetterEducatio I think that I’m finally able to teach the way I want to and that’s helping with a lot of my issues w/ management. There was a big adjustment to the district expectations but I’ve made peace with that

[Mr. Barney Music @ABarneyMusic]

@4BetterEducatio It’s been a huge learning curve but it’s the best thing I’ve done so far.

[Mr. Barney Music @ABarneyMusic]

@4BetterEducatio Meet me at the garden gate! We’re working on our decoding skills right now

[Mr. Barney Music @ABarneyMusic]

Happy #MIOSM music educators! Privileged to be in a field like music education, that can make such a difference in a child’s life.

Good evening! Austin, elementary general music teacher from NJ. #musedchat

[Mr. Barney Music @ABarneyMusic]

@TDucassoux That's a great idea!

[Mr. Barney Music @ABarneyMusic]

A2: trying to be more reflective on my lessons. What worked, what didn't. Also more time on my Ukulele and Guitar! #musedchat

[Mr. Barney Music @ABarneyMusic]

@TDucassoux Thank you! Not exactly sure yet but the school has done inclusive concerts in the past so something along those lines again probably!

[Mr. Barney Music @ABarneyMusic]

A1: MIOSM, Spring Concert and multi-level musical. Also going through my entire first-year as a teacher. #musedchat

[Mr. Barney Music @ABarneyMusic]

@jguarr Thanks. Same to you!

[Mr. Barney Music @ABarneyMusic]

Happy New Year everyone! Austin from NJ 2-5 gen. music teacher. Excited that we're all back together #musedchat

[Mr. Barney Music @ABarneyMusic]

Best way to end 2017 and kickoff 2018! @GIAPublications @feierabendmusic #tuneful #beatful #artful #musiceducator

[Mr. Barney Music @ABarneyMusic]

Fighting this cold over break has not been enjoyable...at least it happened now and not right as school started up again!

[Mr. Barney Music @ABarneyMusic]

Merry Christmas to all of my online colleagues! #musedchat #edtech #urbanmusiced

[Mr. Barney Music @ABarneyMusic]

Godspeed to all the teachers teaching the Friday before Christmas break.

[Mr. Barney Music @ABarneyMusic]

Just a Santa Parade stand between me and the end of an exhausting concert week. So proud of my students for all of the hard work and dedication!

[Mr. Barney Music @ABarneyMusic]

A2: I think that first and foremost good music is good music. That being said, there is a ton of great music by female, LGBT and multi-cultural composers. I try to incorporate at least one in each concert and give context! #musedchat

[Mr. Barney Music @ABarneyMusic]

A1: Stress the importance of trying new things and experiencing things you may not have seen/heard before. The more you try, the broader your thinking is #musedchat
