Music Teacher’s Guide

If you’ve been thinking about going back for your master’s in music education, I wanted to share this…

Our online Master of Music Education program was built for real music teachers teaching in real classrooms!

Yes, it’s flexible and online. But more importantly, it’s practical, supportive, and immediately applicable to tomorrow’s rehearsal.

We believe music teachers deserve so much more than discussion boards and busywork. You deserve mentorship, community, meaningful conversations, and strategies that actually help students thrive. Here are just a few of the topics we cover:

🧡Rehearsal Strategies
🧡 Conducting
🧡Classroom Management
🧡Habits of the Master Educator
🧡K12 Score Study and Rehearsal planning

Oh! And it can be completed in as little as 22 months! Please feel free to message me if you have any questions and/or if you want to be added to our list. You can also find more info here: https://tinyurl.com/UTKMME (You can tell I am *slightly* obsessed with the program already ).

This program is designed to help teachers grow without burning out — while building stronger rehearsals, stronger classrooms, and stronger music programs.

If you’re passionate about music education and ready for your next step, we’d love to learn alongside you.

Whatever you end up doing, I wish you luck and I am always happy to be here as a resource! 🧡🧡🧡

Instead of movies in the last few weeks of school, try this:

Because, sure, you definitely need a break, but honestly, our students don’t need more passive time.

They need more musical ownership.

Here are a few ideas that are LOW PREP but still feel fun AND meaningful:

1. Student choice rehearsal moments
2. “Fix this measure” challenges
3. Sight-reading rotations
4. Student conductor warm-ups
5. Section leader-led rehearsal time
6. Listening to and reflecting on music you already know
7. Record + reflect run-throughs
8. Peer feedback circles
9. “Greatest hits” rehearsal day
10. Student-led interpretation decisions
11. Informal performance days
12. Rehearse → record → improve cycles
13. Rhythm review games with existing music
14. Student-led sections of rehearsal
15. End-of-year reflection performances

Low prep doesn’t mean low value.

It just means you’re using what you already have more intentionally.

What would you add?

Phew!!! How’s concert season going for you???
