Every music teacher knows the feeling. You wake up sick, or a last-minute obligation comes up, and suddenly you’re scrambling to pull together something your substitute can actually run – something that keeps your class on track, doesn’t require a music degree, and won’t leave you coming back to chaos.
Music Workshop has you covered.
Our Substitute Instruction Sheet gives any substitute teacher everything they need to run a full Music Workshop lesson while you’re out. No specific musical background required. No lengthy notes to write. No stress. We recently redesigned it to be even clearer and more sub-friendly than ever, so your class stays engaged and on track whether your absence was planned in advance or happened without warning.
Here’s what makes it work: Music Workshop lessons are already built to be easy to use. The Substitute Instruction Sheet takes that one step further by walking any sub through exactly what to do, step by step. They open the lesson, follow the sheet, and your students get a meaningful, low-prep music experience – just like they would with you in the room.
You’ll find the Substitute Instruction Sheet on every lesson page in the Music Workshop portal, ready to download anytime. We recommend grabbing one at the start of the year and keeping it on hand so you’re always prepared for the planned absences and the unexpected ones alike.
It’s one less thing on your plate. And in a school year that’s already full, that matters.
