Hello Everyone! My name is Judi Michalik and I have been teaching music in Bangor, Maine for 26 years. I have my Bachelor's degree in Music Education, my Master's Degree in Instructional Technology and have just started my C.A.S. in Instructional Technology.
I also love spending time with my family, going to concerts and musicals, watching my kids play sports and I have a passion for photography.
I teach Grade 6-8 general music and chorus at the James F. Doughty school. I have two physical spaces where I teach. The first space is our auditorium where I teach chorus. We have approximately 50 students in the ensemble so it is one of the only spaces that will fit us all. We have a large screen TV, a projector and an access point for student devices.
My other space is my classroom. I have 25 piano keyboards, midi or Bluetooth connections to each of the keyboards, each student carries a 1:1 Mac Airbooks. I also have a Brite Lynx board with an apple TV connection.
I have anywhere from 15-25 students in my classroom at a time. It is an inclusive classroom and the learners range from students that have limited communication to neurotypical students to students that have been gifted and talented.
I hope you enjoy my blog!
Unfortunately I am not involved in Music but I am envious of anyone who supports students in non-traditional activities. Proud of what you do!
