Music Educator Resources Free stuff! I am part of many music educator groups on social media and something I find a lot is that teachers are often looking for free resources such as warm-ups and new music. I understand the desperation especially when you are a new teacher or teaching a new music subject that may be outside of your area of expertise. ​Here you'll be able to find a variety of downloadable documents that I've created over time for various educational and performance needs. I'll be posting free sheet music and free band warm-ups and more. I hope that there is something that you could use in a pinch or through your school year. ​ CASMEC 2024 Session Resources How to Create a Digital Music Production Course at Your School - Here's how to do it!
