Today's podcast interview is with the amazing Annie Rasmussen. I'm so excited to bring her on the show to talk about teaching ukulele and curriculum design for elementary music.
She breaks down teaching ukulele so that even the most beginner of teacher can walk away feeling confident in teaching this incredible instrument.
She's also super passionate about creating curriculum and if this is something you've been interested in, I pick her brain about transitioning from teaching elementary music to what she does now on a day to day basis.
Annie Rasmussen is the creative brain behind MusicPoppins.com. She's a full-time music curriculum developer and the author of the ukulele launch curriculum Let's Say Aloha!, she runs curriculum test classes in her home-based lab studio in Houston, Texas. She is obsessed with puppets, folk instruments, and all things 'ukulele. Her dream is to put music making back into the recreation time of kids and their families.
She graduated from Utah State University in Music Education in 2007. She has taught middle school band and general music, private flute lessons, group and individual piano and theory lessons, church choirs, and of course, LOTS of ukulele classes! She has two sons and is married to a brilliant scientist.
