Need a Quick and Easy Music Activity for a Sub? Part 1

🎵 Where Can I Find Quick & Easy Music Activities for a Sub?

Let’s be honest — planning for a sub in the music room isn’t easy. Most of the time, our substitute teacher walks in feeling a little nervous about teaching music. Unless you’re lucky enough to have a music sub on speed dial, you’ll want lessons that are simple, tech-friendly (or not!), and still keep students reviewing and engaging with music.
