Introducing: The Inclusive Music Educator Certification

The only 8-week live cohort program that gives music teachers the strategies, tools, and mindsets to confidently teach students with special needs—without the overwhelm.

This isn't another self-paced course you'll never finish.

This is a live, guided certification where you'll learn WITH a small group of teachers just like you, get weekly coaching from me, and walk away with a credential that proves your expertise.

Here's What You'll Master in 8 Weeks:

Module 1: Foundation of Inclusive Music Education

Understand the legal, ethical, and pedagogical foundations. Learn the mindset shifts that separate struggling teachers from confident ones.

Module 2: Understanding Diverse Learners

Deep dive into autism, ADHD, sensory processing, intellectual disabilities, and emotional/behavioral disorders—and what each means for YOUR classroom.

Module 3: Classroom Environment & Management

Set up your physical and emotional space to prevent problems. Learn proactive strategies that work better than reactive discipline.

Module 4: Differentiated Instruction Strategies

Adapt lessons on the fly without creating 5 different lesson plans. Universal Design for Learning made practical and actionable.

Module 5: Communication & Collaboration

Work effectively with special ed teachers, therapists, and parents. Navigate IEPs and 504 plans without the confusion.

Module 6: Assessment & Progress Monitoring

Measure success for students who don't fit traditional rubrics. Document growth in ways that matter.

Module 7: Technology & Resources

Leverage apps, tools, and adaptive instruments to expand access. You don't need a big budget—just the right resources.

Module 8: Self-Care & Sustainability

Avoid burnout. Build systems that work long-term. Become the leader other teachers come to for advice.

Common Questions:

What if I can't make the live calls?

Every call is recorded and available within 24 hours. But I strongly encourage you to attend live—that's where the magic happens and you get personalized help.

I'm brand new to teaching special needs students. Will this work for me?

Absolutely. This is designed for teachers with zero special education background. We start from the ground up.

I've been teaching for 20 years. Is this too basic?

Veteran teachers often get the MOST value because we fill in the gaps your training missed. You'll leave with systems that make your experience even more powerful.

What level do I need to teach?

This works for elementary, middle, and high school music teachers. The strategies adapt to any age group.

Is this just recorded videos?

No. You get self-paced video modules PLUS 8 live group coaching calls with me. It's the best of both worlds.

Will my school pay for this?

Many do! This qualifies as professional development. We provide an invoice and course outline you can submit for reimbursement.

What if I need more help after the 8 weeks?

You'll have lifetime access to the materials and community. Plus, I'll share options for ongoing support at the end of the cohort.
