Summary

As an elementary music teacher, you bring drama into what you're already doing with your students, whether you realize it or not.  As you put on performances, do movement activities, read stories with action words, and create different sounds, you're integrating drama.  I'm so excited for the conversation I had with Deb Baldwin in this episode about drama instruction and integration, because this is where her expertise lies.  She breaks down how to teach drama to the youngest and oldest of students and gives sound advice that you can use in your own music or drama classroom.  Deborah Baldwin is an award-winning theater teacher and director having done both for nearly 40 years.  She directed over 250 plays and musicals with adults and children alike. Deborah developed and administrated several youth theater companies in the Midwest and serves as a consultant to them as well. She taught in Missouri and Colorado retiring in 2016. She created curriculum in all areas of theater for grades second through twelfth--creative dramatics, introduction to theater, musical theater, playwriting and technical theater.  Currently, she created drama education resources for her store, DramaMommaSpeaks on Teacherspayteachers.com. In addition, she coaches teachers just starting out on their journey. She is an award winning indie author of Bumbling Bea a middle grade book.  She blogs at www.dramamommaspeaks.com and can be found on Facebook at Drama Momma Speaks and Instagram under the Dramamommaspeaks name.
