She also assisted with numerous music education courses, taught early childhood music classes at the MSU Community Music School, acted as the advisor for the collegiate chapter of the National Association for Music Education and supervised student teachers.

Rodriguez is an active clinician and researcher.

She recently published a research article entitled Parents’ perceptions of early childhood music participation (2019) in the International Journal of Community Music. Her co-authored article Seizing the “both/and” moment: A response to Randall Allsup’s Remixing the Classroom was published in 2017 in Action, Criticism, and Theory for Music Education.

During her time in Florida, she also taught early childhood music classes for parents and children from birth to age five, as well as private music lessons in guitar, voice and piano.
