I followed some big classical guitar names that I have worked with in the past. Andrew York was an old member of the LAGQ. I have received master classes from both Andrew York as well as all the members of the LAGQ. Following them will expand my PLN and hopefully in the future be able to invite them to work with my students if I see that they are in the area.
Shed the Music is a free, online curriculum created a guy I went to college with. They offer lessons on music theory, guitar method, band method, jazz, and music technology.
Moosiko is a similar program, although not free, that focuses more on guitar and ukulele. The also sell instruments.
edutopia is a great source for all teachers, that it seems like most of us already follow.

Every summer, Stacy Williams-Jackson hosts the Lincoln-Way Rock Orchestra. This is a great modern band idea that gets students pumped to play music that they most likely would not during their typical school day. Watching the concert brought back a lot of nostalgic music from my high school!
musicedtalk posted a podcast with Alex Shapiro talking about everything from technology, composing, to music curriculum. It was a great listen, though it doesn't really get to the topics until about 30 minutes in. Feel free to fast forward if you don't want to hear them talk about where she lives.
I always used the basic plan with Soundtrap, and I really am bummed my school did not purchase any of the packages. Soundtrap is advertising a new package called the Laces pack that sounds WAY better than anything I ever worked with.
My last share is a Spotify play list that I have been geeking out over. I LOVE Star Wars, and have been trying to find some music that can help students find ideas when composing electronic beats. This is a fun listen and helps students hear a familiar melody while creating something totally new!
