Lessons & Activities for Secondary Music Teachers

When I was young, I wish I had lesson plans I could reference before I taught a concept.  I had to use my students as guinea pigs.  So sorry class of 2008!

Sousa’s Toolbox is my attempt to be a model for other secondary music teachers.  Whether you are trying a new concept or are new to the profession, I believe my 15+ years teaching experience will help you think through how you’ll teach and pick up some good ideas along the way.

In my lesson plans, I write out what I say and why I say it so that you can pick and choose what to say for your lesson. 

My templates and worksheets are editable and you can reread my materials over and over again to know the concept backward and forward.

I’ve also developed assessment material that demonstrates learning.  (with hopes to be available in 2025)

I believe my resources will prove useful to you and I wish you the best on your teaching endeavors!
