Music teachers sound alarm

Winnipeg Free Press SUPPLIED Jordan Laidlaw, a Winnipeg elementary school music teacher, feels like he’s ‘teaching with an arm tied behind my back.’ Music teachers are reporting high levels of burnout amid a school year during which many have been displaced from their homerooms, faced ever-changing choir and instrument use restrictions, and repeatedly rushed to find online alternatives to ensembles. Music teachers are reporting high levels of burnout amid a school year during which many have been displaced from their homerooms, faced ever-changing choir and instrument use restrictions, and repeatedly rushed to find online alternatives to ensembles. A new study of well-being in the Manitoba profession found 84 per cent of teachers feel fatigued from work, while 47 per cent have considered early retirement or a change in their career, if not both, because of pandemic disruptions.

Concerned parents and advocates say bring back the school band

  WINNIPEG The ban on playing wind instruments in school bands has left some kids hitting the drums, or nothing at all, as COVID-19 measures continue to make music classes a challenge for teachers. In response a group of concerned parents is rallying to bring band class back to schools, wind instruments included, saying small groups should be allowed now. “We can do it safely. We’ve toed the line, we’ve been very good for the last year. The kids have not played for a year and they miss it. There’s still a lot of parents paying for musical instruments,” said parent Melissa Davidson, who has two teenagers in band.

Strike up the band
