“This course covered a LOT that I wish we would have talked about in my college classes. I LOVED the section on curriculum. I feel like I have such a wonderful jumpstart now on building my scope and sequence for my first year of teaching.”
-Amelia R.
“This course is a great 101 for those whose BEd experience did little to prepare them for elementary school music. It helped me understand how to use planning to benefit my students and my program.”
-Danielle R.
“I would recommend this program to anyone who is starting their journey in general music or who feels like they are in a rut and fresh, new ideas. The course is very logical and easy to follow. The videos are a reasonable length to keep up with and they get to the core of the topic quickly with practical application ideas and activities.”
-Erin B.
“I would highly recommend this to early career music teachers, students who are in or close to finishing their undergrad, or anyone who wants to connect and get some fresh perspectives!”
-EMILIE A.

Just like you, I didn't feel like my bachelor's degree prepared me to teach at the elementary level.
I spent my first couple of years out of undergrad gathering every resource I could to help me be the best elementary music teacher.
I created this program so you wouldn't have to waste the time I did sorting through a bunch of books, blog posts, and podcasts to find what you need to be the best elementary music teacher you can be.
