129: Catching Up With Crystal - Life After the Music Classroom - Chaotic Harmony Podcast
Crystal is back! In this heartfelt episode, we catch up with Mrs. Pridmore as she shares what it’s like to step away from full-time teaching after 15+ years in the elementary music classroom. Here, she reflects on the joys and challenges of leaving the classroom, her new role with Guitars in the Classroom supporting general education teachers in bringing music to their students, and what she’s learned about music education from a new perspective. Join us as we talk about identity, transition, legacy, and how the heart of a music teacher continues to make an impact—no matter where the classroom is.
