Transcript

Have you ever heard of Google Classroom? I would imagine many of us have likely heard of Google Classroom, but I bet many of us haven’t heard much about teachers using it as their main tool for delivering assignments in an independent music lesson setting.

I’m one of those teachers, and as an all-things Google fan, my ears pricked up when I heard teacher friend Elizabeth Davis-Everhart share a little snippet about using Google Classroom in our “Life after Tonara” episodes. That was in episode #85 and #132.

I also had a follower recently reach out who was feeling overwhelmed trying to decide what method to use for delivering assignments. Google Classroom was something they were considering but unfortunately I couldn’t give any advice in that realm.

Their question did prompt me though to contact Elizabeth again to see if she would be willing to take a little deeper dive with me today.

In addition to over 16 years of teaching in universities, community music schools, K-12 music, and private studios, Elizabeth Davis-Everhart is fulfilling a dream of sharing her love for teaching with educators all over the world through the Creative Piano Pedagogy Blog, courses, and consulting.
