✦ THE STORY BEHIND
Hi, I’m Elizabeth Caldwell πŸ‘‹

I’m an elementary music educator since 2006, mom of 2 since 2012, and music education author since 2014. I love all of the hats that I wear and believe strongly in the importance of each. Whether it’s in my classroom, at home, or here on the internet, I also believe in the equal importance of both organization/ structure and creative/ artistic freedom. Balancing work and home, and balancing structure and freedom, are lifelong pursuits.

The goal of Organized Chaos is to help music teachers embrace the chaos of creativity through purposeful organization and simple ideas! The music teacher resources I share focus on general music curriculum, teacher planners, world music, and organizational tools. My hope is that everything I create helps other music teachers find their own purposeful balance.

Purposeful Creativityβ€” that’s what Organized Chaos is all about.
