Some people dream of meeting their favorite musicians, I teach mine! Band Director gone Elementary Music. Here’s to continuing to grow as an educator!

@WeAreTeachers I started at a new school this year (year 8 overall) and I have my spark reignited! We are already three weeks in and I’m loving every second of it 🎉❤️

@teacher2teacher Knowing my students names. I see 700 kids a week as a music teacher. Names can be hard, but the smile on the kids faces when you call them by name ❤️

[Nicole Cooper @MrsCooper2021]

As the new school year approaches, I think this is important to remember.

My school starts back with kids tomorrow. I’m not going to lie, I feel burned out and overwhelmed. I stumbled upon @TBAMusicTeacher’s podcast and it has helped to fill my cup. Here is to an amazing year of learning #soundbeforesight

Going back to the classroom as Mrs. Cooper. It’s new for me and my students. Let’s see how long it takes to catch on. ❤️

This past weekend, I got to marry the love of my life. While I loved being a Chandley, being a Cooper may be the greatest adventure yet. #CrushingonCooper

Life is too short to teach in classroom you can’t stand. That’s why I completely redid my classroom today. 🎉🎉

Today, I had a chance to lead a small flute choir for solo and ensemble. My heart felt so happy to be back in the band world, even for a little while. ❤️

I believe these are the most important words our students need to hear from us. #Covid19 #musiced #education

I’m really missing my students, both past and present. Keep your chins up. We will ge through this. We are strong. #shoutouttomybandkids #musiced #teacherlife

I seriously crave #professionaldevelopment. I always want to become a better teacher so I can better my students. This was recommended to me by hundreds of elementary music teachers. I am so excited that I found this at my local library!! #musiceducation #teachersofinstagram

[Nicole Cooper @MrsCooper2021]

I don’t normally do this, but my students would really love and appreciate this! Check out my classroom on @DonorsChoose! I'd love your help to bring my project to life: https://t.co/NDDuvVaGRn

What I strive for everyday. Some days are a struggle- but these students deserve the three L’s. #delcityelementary #pantherpride #musiced

[Nicole Cooper @MrsCooper2021]

Students do not care what you know, until they know that you care. #musiced #delcityelementary #pantherpride

[Nicole Cooper @MrsCooper2021]

I would not be the teacher I am today if it wasn’t for these specific educators in my life. Don’t be afraid to reach out for help- it takes a village to raise a bear. #PD #teaching #delcityelementary #pantherpride

My students spent the day practicing crescendos and decrescendos. They were so excited when Llucy the Llama came out to play! #music #elementary #handsonlearning #llucythellama #delcityelementary
