Consulting for
Music Teachers and Choral Directors

In the realm of K-12 music education, teachers frequently encounter challenges within their classrooms that, more often than not, possess straightforward solutions. To address these issues effectively, consider scheduling a Zoom consultation with me so we can diagnose specific problem areas and identify together helpful strategies.

Areas commonly addressed during personalized Zoom coaching sessions often include: effective behavior management strategies, curriculum sequencing, approaches to music literacy instruction, navigating challenges associated with group vocal performance, as well as identifying and utilizing the most suitable teaching methods and materials. With individualized coaching, educators can enhance their teaching methodologies and foster an enriched learning environment for their students.
