Absolutely! When a student finds the joy of music, they have become a musician.
I also look for what the student does well- what kind of musician are they? Some a great at reading sheet music, some are great at improvising, some are story tellers that see a song as a vehicle for their craft. Imo, it's best to treat the student as a genius. As Viktor Frankl said, "If we overestimate [our student], we can promote them to who they can be [...] If we take [our student] as they are, we make them worse, but if we take them as who they should be, we make them who they can be"

Interesting teaching manipulatives
Any interesting manipulatives that you recommend in your teaching? I've recently got excited waiting for these Magnetic White Board Blocks from Bozeman Science: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/bozemanscience/switch-its-magnetic-dry-erase-blocks
Book Recommendations
I've been looking for a couple of books to read this summer to change up my practice. I'd love some recommendations.
Here's a few that I recommend from previous summers:
- Make it Stick https://www.retrievalpractice.org/make-it-stick - Making learning "sticky" for students
- Teach Like a Champion 2.0 https://teachlikeachampion.org/books/teach-like-champion-2-0 - A great book for sample procedures (the book also comes with a little video for each procedure so you can watch it in action)
Here's what I'm reading so far this summer:
- Building Thinking Classrooms in Mathematics https://buildingthinkingclassrooms.com/
What are your favorite digital labs?
I really like digital labs they're no mess and it's really easy for students to make them up when they're absent.
Here's a few places that I get mine:
- whscience.org - I especially like the Bug in the Meadow lab. Since I started using it, I haven't had to clean up bits of paper off my carpet. I also really like his Pedigree Tree Diagram Maker
- PhET - Great simulations for students to try things out without blowing things up.
What are some other great ones?
