Live Presentation about Free Internet Resources for Elementary Music Educators Tomorrow!

July 09, 2024  /  Amy M. Burns

I’m popping in this evening to let you know that my presentation is going live at 12 noon ET where I’m talking all about Free Internet Resources for Elementary Music Educators for the Elementary Music Summit®!

I’ll be going over:

  1. Teacher Resources

  2. Students Resources

  3. AI tools

My goal is that every teacher who is registered in the summit can take away at least two resources to implement immediately to save them time, help them create new manipulatives, and more.

If you haven’t grabbed your ticket to the summit yet, you can do that here. My presentation will be live for 24 hours afterward, and there are a lot of other amazing ones for you to check out. However, if you paid for the All-Access Pass, you can access the live recordings for up to a year!

Hope to see you soon!
