Don't re-invent the wheel, Steve's Music Room is here to help.

The Lesson Plans and News pages contain a plethora of material I have created to directly help music teachers like you in your classrooms. Feel free to use anything on this site for use in your classroom and don't forget to peruse my list of publications and workshops. Also, if there is anything you would like to see, please do not hesitate to contact me.
My name is Steve Giddings. I started my music teaching career at Fortune Consolidated School in rural Prince Edward Island and now teach K-6 music at Montague Consolidated School in Prince Edward Island. There, I lead a grades 4-6 choir, 2 rock bands, a guitar club and act as musical director for various productions at the school. My passion for integrating rock bands into the elementary school setting led to the founding of the annual "Rock-a-palooza: PEI Schools of Rock Showcase" event in Prince Edward Island. As well, I have published articles in the Canadian Music Educator's Journal on the topics of creativity and teaching rock bands in schools. Currently, I am working on my first book, called "Rock Coach: A Practical Guide for Teaching Rock Bands in School," set to be released this year!
