Teaching music is NOT easy.
SLike all teachers we create lesson plans, prepare resources, score assessments, attend meetings, make phone calls, and so much more. On top of that, as music teachers we often have before or after school rehearsals, multiple performances, large class sizes, inadequate equipment, and additional duties that have nothing to do with teaching music ! Despite this, we are passionate about delivering engaging lessons to each and every one of our students.
Have you ever thought…
- There is so much to do and not enough time!
- My students deserve better than this.
- I want to have fun teaching music again!
- I just wish I could leave work at work.
- I am exhausted!
- I saw that on Pinterest but just don’t have time to create it!
- I’m a great teacher, but I just can’t do it all!
- I need more time for my family, friends and myself.
If the answer is "yes!" to any of those, you are in the right place!
I’m Shelley Tomich, and I help busy music teachers like you deliver time saving, engaging lessons so you have more time to enjoy your life! In my 20+. years of experience in music education, I learned the hard way that we can’t do everything AND maintain our sanity!
I also learned that sometimes it “takes a village.” Lesson planning can be a draining experience during the school year. Let’s put our collective knowledge together to give you the time be the amazing teacher you already are! You CAN love teaching AND have a life!
