Five interactive online modules - Tuition $99 CAD
Are you a vocal or instrumental music instructor?
Do any of the following sound familiar?
How do I help students take greater ownership of their musical learning?
What can I do when my usual teaching strategies for student engagement aren't working?
How can I make lessons meaning for the different students who walk through my door?
Let's explore some possibilities together.
TM21C Certification brings fresh perspectives, practical tools, and opportunities to rethink familiar challenges with a more student-centred approach.
Here's a quick video about TM21C Certification from Dr. Merlin B. Thompson. My goal is to share what I've learned through nearly 50 years of teaching - so you can spend less time figuring things out on your own.
