Welcome to my very first post. I am hoping that you will find this blog educational and resourceful.
This first blog is just to tell you a little bit about myself. My name is Amy M. Burns. I am a PreK-Grade 3 elementary music teacher. I teach general music 3X a 7-day cycle for grades 1-3 for 30 minutes per each class. I teach 2X a cycle for grades PreK Olders (4-year olds) and Kindergarten for 30 minutes per each class. I teach 2X a cycle for PreK Youngers (3-year olds) for 20 minutes per each class. I have also taught general music for grades 4 and 5, taught group and private instrumental lessons, instrumental band for grades 4-8, choruses for grades K-5, and I founded and directed our after-school conservatory that currently houses 13 adjunct music professors who teach 1/3 of our students private lessons on piano, guitar, voice, percussion, strings, woodwinds, and brass.
I have been teaching music for the past 12 years. Eleven of those years have been at Far Hills Country Day School, in Far Hills, NJ. I hold a Bachelors in Music Ed and Music Performance from Ithaca College. I also hold a Masters Degree in Science of Music Education from Central Connecticut State University. In 2005, I was awarded the first-ever (TI:ME) Teacher of the Year Award. In 2008, I was elected as their President-Elect.
Please take a moment and look at my students’ works on my website. In addition, please leave a comment.
