Growing Together in Practice

We know that real growth and change only happen when teachers feel supported. We are committed to providing that support for their professional growth and development, creating pathways for long lasting, positive change. In our 2-hour workshops, facilitated by our Founder Mary, we explore:

The Why: Understand why using high-quality music in the classroom supports students’ brain development and social-emotional skill development like nothing else can.

The What: Create a Morning Circle Time plan filled with music learning, learn how to use music for tricky transitions, and gain a toolbox full of songs, poems, finger plays, and movement activities.

The How: Experience the power of engaging with music together to spark joy, build community, and improve our overall sense of wellbeing.

We strongly recommend two sessions per school year to give your teachers the support they need to truly grow and develop their teaching practice. This allows our team to get to know you, your staff and school personally ~ which is one of our favorite things to do! ~ and we can customize each session to better fit your needs. Each session is $200, plus any traveling fees if you are located more than 75 miles from our homebase.

A Sample Daily Schedule for Music Learning

Learn more about how music learning fits into the routine and flow of the classroom.

I like it when my teacher sits with us to watch the videos and sing. She is also really good at keeping the steady beat. And she smells good.

Jamal, age 4

In my 22 years of teaching, I’ve never seen music taught quite like this. It’s engaging and fun. And I never have to redirect the kids or give reminders to pay attention. They are truly drawn to it. It’s brought a lot of positive energy to my classroom.

Miss Dena, classroom teacher

I’m embarrassed to say that I had no idea how big of an impact music learning had on young children. I knew they loved it, but I didn’t know how much it supported their brain development and all of the other skills they need to be successful. We are thrilled to have this program in all of our classrooms.
