60-Composing with technology and pitched percussion ensembles with Justin Griffith

In this episode, Justin Griffith and I talk about teaching composing to your students, how to use technology, even if you don't have much of it, and starting a pitched percussion (or any other) ensemble.  He shares so many amazing and helpful advice for elementary music teachers.  After studying classical voice & graduating with a Bachelor of Music Degree from the University of North Texas in 2005, Justin Griffith began teaching music at Vitovsky Elementary School in Midlothian, Texas.  Since then, he's continued developing skills as an educator, songwriter, composer, performer, & audio engineer.  Music is the focus, but the ultimate goal is to teach children how to be good humans.  Building a comfortable & safe environment while providing a lifelong outlet for students is the foundation of his philosophy.  You can connect with Justin here:  Instagram   Twitter    I'd love for you to leave a rating and a review of the podcast on I-tunes, be sure to share the podcast with any music teacher friends who would find it helpful and be sure to tag me on Instagram or Facebook.
