Update 5/11: Arrrrggggghhh. It's apparently been narrowed down to me and one other candidate, and I've been invited to come in next week and teach a sample lesson with their students. This is fine, I can do it, but it's so uncomfortable teaching strange kids in a strange room without the things I'm used to having.
But it's good that the job is still a possibility. Waiting for more details about what they want to see.

You've got this!
And, in a world where music teachers are underappreciated, any school should be jumping through hoops to have you!

Just my two cents... you don't have show all of the bells and whistles for this lesson. I am assuming the other person won't have them either. You just need to show you know how to teach music and how to connect with kids. Think of a good lesson that exemplifies those two things and you will be awesome.

Found out now that it’s two short lessons - 20 min for preK and one for 4th grade. 😬
Will be fine - I just need to spend some time figuring out lessons for both without technology. I don’t want to rely on a strange interactive whiteboard.

It's not like the beginning of the year when you have them crying and leaving pee puddles on the floor.

I do love the kinder kids in general, but even they are a little too young for me to teach.

I don’t want to rely on a strange interactive whiteboard. You SO have got this!!! I think that your plan of “no technology” is a good one. I would also make a point of saying to the interviewers, at some point in the day, that you normally use and are comfortable with technology. Here, in my district, every interview I had last year involved at least one question of “how will you use technology in the classroom?” It is a big big big focus in my district, and could make -or-break a candidate.
