Music Teacher Resources
TGC values Tucson's music educators! We hope this webpage is a helpful resource. Please contact us if you have any other ideas for ways we can support you and your important work!
in-school support
TGC in your classroom! Our conductors have combined expertise in all grade levels. We would love to come to you and serve you however is most helpful. Some options for support:
-
Rehearsal clinics with customizable goals (2-3 visits per year)
-
A TGC conductor visits throughout the year to provide a clinic on your repertoire, and can emphasize specific concepts if desired.
-
NEW! TGC can provide a rubric/written feedback at each visit and "adjudicate" your group during the clinic. The feedback collected at the beginning, middle, and end of the year can help you show measurable growth to your administrators.
-
-
Workshop on a specific topic- vocal technique, warm-ups, etc (1-2 visits per year)
-
A TGC conductor provides a workshop, with a resource sheet for you to reference as needed throughout the year
-
-
Assembly for a whole grade-level or whole school (Once per year)
-
Get the whole school singing! A TGC conductor will lead accessible, fun vocal exercises and partner songs/rounds to encourage all students to use their voice
-

TGC provides FREE professional development opportunities for teachers! (Student teachers and future music educators are also welcome!)
