Hello Everyone,

Someone once said, "no news is good news." As we have all grown a little more comfortable in our current situations we do realize that much of life continues and we make plans, learn something new, and start new projects.

At Musikgarten we have been working on some new projects. One of these projects is a YouTube/Podcast idea focusing on all things related to early childhood music movement. This week we recorded our first test episode and would love to hear your feedback. Click here to view or listen. This first session focuses on online teaching with a few takeways:

  • The Pros and Cons of online teaching
  • Let’s address the camera
  • For Musikgarten teachers – trust the material

Please give us your feedback by emailing info@musikgarten.org and put Podcast as the subject. Since this was a test episode, we used the technology we had like our laptop cameras, microphones, etc. Please take this into consideration in your comments. What we would you to reference are as follows:

Would you find this type of format valuable? Shorter episodes or the length is fine depending on the topic? Do you have any topics you would like for us to cover in general for early childhood education or specifically from the Musikgarten material? Other thoughts?

We value your opinions and look forward to hearing your response.
