Key Changes: Inclusive Music Education

Reimagine Inclusion as the Foundation of Excellence

A self-paced course to help music educators teach every student with confidence, clarity, and compassion.

Overview

What is it?

Key Changes is a comprehensive, self-paced professional development course for music educators who want to create truly inclusive classrooms without sacrificing musical rigor.

  • 12 powerful modules covering inclusive teaching strategies

  • Practical tools for band, choir, orchestra, general music, and music tech

  • Aligned with UDL, Culturally Responsive Teaching, and trauma-informed practices

  • Designed to serve students with disabilities, neurodiverse profiles, and other exceptionalities

  • Created for music teachers of all experience levels

Inclusion often feels overwhelming, unclear, or like something "extra."

Many music educators want to support all students but feel unequipped, unsupported, or unsure how to adapt without lowering expectations. You shouldn’t have to choose between musical rigor and accessibility.

You just need a roadmap.
