This is a GREAT workshop for voice teachers thinking about offering group classes - and it's not too late to start them this summer! š
Children are excited (but sometimes, afraid) to sing. Introductory singing classes allow students to discover their voices and have joyful experiences with others. Building a community where young voices learn and explore together is one of the most rewarding parts of teaching.
If you have been thinking about offering small group classes, the logistics can feel like a mountain of "how-tos." (Iāve been stuck behind that worry-hump too! š
)
Join me on April 26th for the Introductory Small Group Singing Classes Workshop. Weāre answering your burning questions so you can launch that high-demand program with confidence.
What weāll cover:
⨠Navigating group dynamics for young singers
⨠How to easily market your classes
⨠Proven structures to keep energy high and stress low
⨠A comprehensive 12-week lesson plan package
The workshop is $149 and includes everything you need to hit the ground running.
Itās happening live on Zoom, but don't worry: there is always a replay š (available for 14 days!).
It's not too late to offer a class this summer!

⨠Before and After magic! āØ
I loooove to see music evolve from handwritten notes on a page into a polished, professional score that's ready to be shared with the world.
Linda trusted me with her work, and together we transformed it into clean, engraved notation that musicians can read with ease and confidence. Thereās nothing quite like helping a piece come to life the way the composer imagined it. š
