Professional Development for Schools & Districts

Music has been shown to reduce the impact of student challenges and strengthen overall well-being through meaningful connection and social integration. Our in-person offerings address today’s urgent challenges – absenteeism, retention, classroom management, and teacher well-being – through the powerful vehicle of music.

Music Workshop’s Professional Development can now be experienced through custom live workshops (remote or in-person) or through virtual community practice cohorts, giving schools and districts flexible ways to support their educators. All options foster shared language, practical strategies, and a culture of well-being that benefits teachers and students alike.

Our team is excited to speak with you about your PD goals. Like our Free Curriculum, Music Workshop professional development is for everyone.

  • Prioritizing Teacher Well-Being

  • Culturally Responsive Teaching Through Music
  • Reinvisioning Rigor in the Music Classroom

No matter the grade level you teach or whether you serve at the district or school level, we design research-based, music-and-well-being–centered professional development to fit your needs. From 60-minute sessions to full-day workshops, we’ll tailor the experience for your team.
