Does any of this sound familiar?
✔️ You're frustrated with the behavior of some of your students, and wonder what you can do to engage them more.
✔️ You're getting tired of the songs you've been using, and want to find new songs that your students will love.
✔️ You're spending tons of time searching for songs and activities to use in your lessons, and are missing out on time with your family and friends.
✔️ You're discouraged when you have to spend time during professional development listening to how to teach math and language arts.
✔️ You've heard of initiatives like centers and STEAM but you're not quite sure how to incorporate them into your lessons.
✔️ You're being asked to integrate other subject areas into your lessons, but you don't know where to start.
What if you could make your lessons more engaging, find new songs and activities, AND save time?
Teaching music does take work, but it shouldn't be so time consuming to write your lessons! AND you should receive professional development that is focused on YOU and your exact situation, so that your music classroom fosters choice, engagement, and creativity!
