*Learning music is not a race

We each learn at our own pace

Register for what feels best

Cuz music keeps the learning fresh!*

Dear Friends,

Over the past 25 years, we’ve been able to teach classes free of charge. Due to funding cuts to Arts and Education at the federal, state, and local levels, this summer we are requesting a modest fee to make our work possible. PLEASE READ MORE HERE

Please understand - this is a step we had hoped never to take, but like others around us, we are in survival mode. We love you and we don't want to lose you. So we made a very simple scholarship application available for those who are in need of support: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/Smr26PDScholarship. This is a community and we help each other.

**Learn to Calm, Focus, and Engage Learners with Support Needs and Neurodivergence Through Music**

**Course Prerequisite: Using Music to Support Teaching and Learning**

Award-Winning Music Educator Crystal Pridmore will introduce a teaching framework with wonderful strategies and techniques that makes learning with music a positive and successful experience for neurodivergent learners, and students who are suffering from trauma, anxiety, and stress. Bring your stories, your hopes, and your unsolved teaching mysteries to find a positive way forward for ALL of your students. Her work is based on the Neurosequential Model, paired with stages and kinds of musical learning in ways that turn frowns upside down. There is no GITC prerequisite for this class, except for using music to support teaching and learning.
