I was having a conversation with my good friend, Victoria Boler about the conversations we have with other music teachers we’re working with in our programs or chatting to on instagram. And THIS is the one that comes back again and again. I’m sure you’ve asked yourself the same, because I know I definitely have!

It’s not a bad question. The intention behind the question is to figure out what certain songs, games, and activities are appropriate for which students. But instead of focusing on grade level, there are better questions we can ask that get to the root of the issue.

Here’s a few things we discuss on today’s episode…

• Why the question “what grade level is this good for” is a tricky one to answer.
• The five questions you should ask yourself instead.
• How to start back at square one if you’ve seen an ending “big picture” that you think would be a cool experience for your kids.
