"I'm Doing the Best I Can": Teaching General Music in the Time of COVID-19
Kuebel, Christa; Haskett, Elizabeth
Update: Applications of Research in Music Education, v41 n2 p28-37 Feb 2023
The purpose of this multiple case study was to examine the experiences of four elementary general music teachers (first year, early-career, mid-career, late-career) during the time of COVID-19. We considered impacts on the participants' instruction and professional lives from data that were collected throughout the 2020-2021 academic year. Participants reported changes to their teaching environments, schedules, and job responsibilities. They shared the technology resources they implemented and highlighted inequities that emerged for virtual versus in-person students. Participants provided insight into the impacts of the year on their personal lives as well. Our implications include considerations for music teachers, music teacher educators, and school administrators as a result of participants' experiences.
