Frequently Asked Questions
What if I have a small classroom, or I teach on a cart? Will the course be helpful?
Yes! I’ve included ideas for small and shared spaces, so that you and your students can still be successful with centers.
When I join Music Centers Masterclass, will I get immediate access to all of the lessons?
When you join, you’ll immediately have access to a welcome module. Then, once the course begins, you’ll have access to 1-2 modules per week.
What if I have a busy year and can’t keep “on track” with the course?
No worries! Although I’ll be releasing 1-2 modules a week, you can do the lessons on your own time, as you have access for the lifetime of the course.
Will graduate credit and/or CEU’s be offered for the course?
A certificate of completion for CEU’s will be available.

Imagine if...
A few months from now, when the new school year starts, your students arrive at your music classroom and they find a music classroom set up with enticing and engaging music centers.
In just a few weeks after school starts, each of your classes is excited as they walk through your door, motivated to apply musical concepts.
Within a month, your classroom is running smoothly, with little to no management issues. Your students have ownership over their learning, as they are able to choose activities and explore on their own.
Imagine that, in March, when burnout is typically very real, often sapping much of the joy from your teaching, you are actually excited to go into class each day knowing that you will be able to create authentic interactions with your students while showing real growth and progress on their report cards (and without spending hours after school, getting materials ready!)
So much is possible when you use a more student-centered method that allows your students to gain confidence and skill through choice and determination: giving them agency, while facilitating their musical growth!
Still thinking about it?
You should give Music Centers Masterclass a 14 day risk free shot if any of this applies to you:
✔️ Your upper elementary students aren’t as engaged with music class as you’d like them to be, and you’re not sure how to fix that,
✔️. You want to spend more time with your family, instead of creating lessons and materials for the school year, and...
✔️ You’d like to start this next school year with a solid plan, with lessons and materials already created!
I can’t wait for you to join Music Centers Masterclass
I’ve had so much fun using centers in my music classroom. I’ve made my share of mistakes and missteps with centers, so I’m excited to share my experiences so that you can avoid those missteps and move forward with a better path!
One of the most rewarding parts of implementing centers in my classroom is watching my students take ownership of their learning, making their own choices, and growing as musicians.
And I absolutely love sharing ideas with music educators just like you. If you join me in this course, I know that you will be energized and excited about the next school year, and your students will have more ownership in your music classroom.
See you inside the course,
Aileen
