Aren’t You Ready for a Change?
Get beyond the chaos
Build confidence
Find harmony in your music classroom
Dear music teacher,
If you want to stop feeling miserable, burnt out, and exhausted all the time, then this is going to be the most important message you read all day.
Why the Happy Music Teacher Academy?
Does this sound like you?
You’re struggling with behavior management, so chaos reigns.
You’re having trouble finding the happy balance between management and engagement, especially with classes that have behaviorally challenging students.
You’re trying to make classes fun enough that every student participates.
Curriculum is so challenging. Everything either seems too advanced or way too babyish for your students, so you lose them.
It’s difficult to know what to teach and how to structure your units.
You’re trying to find lessons for all students to relate to.
There are so many ideas out there, but narrowing it down and figuring out what works and how to actually execute it is tough.
How do you create lessons that will be fun without creating chaos in your music classroom?
Well that WAS me! When I first started teaching almost a quarter century ago, I was struggling with all the things. And I was so LOST!
- I had no classroom management system.
- I was trying to figure out what to do with my students and how to keep them learning but still having fun.
- I couldn’t decide how to structure my units so they went in some kind of order that actually made sense.
Today, I am a happy, fulfilled music teacher with tons of tricks up my sleeve. And I want to help you be a happy music teacher too!
What if there was a place to find help?
