Masterclass

Ohhh, I need this!

Teacher Burnout AND STUDENT DISENGAGEMENT Is Real.

SO IS THE SOLUTION.

  • You started your music teaching career with passion and energy. But now, you're exhausted—physically and emotionally drained from constantly being "on stage," delivering lesson after lesson while your students watch passively.
  • You're going home completely depleted, with almost nothing left for yourself or your family, after spending eight hours standing in front of your classroom teaching.
  • Despite your best efforts, you can't give individual attention to students who need it, and they aren't fully connecting with musical concepts.
  • You know you need a change (and so do your students), but aren't sure where to start.

What if I told you there's a better way?

Imagine being able to:

  • Start each day with excitement and energy.
  • Give individual attention to students, while all your other students are engaged.
  • Offer choices to your students, so that they have ownership of their learning.
  • Have a clear system for implementing centers, so that you (and your students!) feel successful.

Introducing

With Music Centers Masterclass, implementing centers is as easy as 1, 2, 3!

01 | Create your centers

As you take the course, you’ll gather ideas for centers for many different concepts! You’ll also receive a library full of centers resources, for rhythm, melody, and more!

02 | Run the centers during class

Now’s the time to try the centers with a grade level! You’ll prepare the materials, explain the centers, and let the magic begin…with suggestions from the course to make it easy!

03 | Organize and Re-Use

Organize your centers so that you can use them in the future. Next time will be so much easier, with the organization tips and the resources from the course library!

I want that!

This is right for you if...

  • You’re exhausted from constantly teaching at the front of the room. This course will show you how to use music centers to give yourself a break while your students stay actively engaged and learning.
  • You’re craving more variety and excitement in your classroom. If you’re bored with the same old routines or noticing your students are too, music centers can transform your teaching experience—making lessons fresh, dynamic, and fun.
  • You want to empower your students to be independent learners. Giving your students the tools to explore, create, and practice music concepts on their own can boost their confidence and deepen their learning. This course will show you how to do just that.
  • You need a practical, stress-free way to implement music centers. You don’t have hours to spend planning and prepping, and could benefit from ready-to-use activities and a simple framework to make music centers work for you without the overwhelm.

This is not for you if...

  • You prefer to maintain a traditional, lecture-style approach for all lessons. If you’re not interested in letting students take the reins through independent or small-group activities, this course probably isn’t a good fit.
  • You’re not ready to try new teaching strategies. If you’re not ready to experiment with music centers or giving students more independence, this course might not be right for you.
  • You believe music lessons should be quiet and orderly at all times. If you expect your classroom to be silent with students sitting still and only speaking when called upon, this course is not the right fit. Music centers are designed to encourage exploration, collaboration, and creativity—which can sometimes be noisy, lively, and full of movement. If you're not comfortable with a bustling, interactive learning environment, this approach might not align with your teaching philosophy.
This is right for me!

Meet Your Instructor

I’ve had so much fun using centers in my music classroom. It’s an incredible way to engage your students and extend their learning, but I’ve made my share of mistakes and missteps with centers. I’m excited to share my experiences so that you can avoid those missteps and move forward with a better path!

I’ve witnessed firsthand how this approach empowers students to make meaningful choices and develop into confident musicians–all while allowing me to step back into a more fulfilling role as a facilitator.

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!
