Introducing

Here's a Thought: Start Your Day with a Smile

Does this sound like you? You walk into your classroom in the morning, turn on your computer, and open up your email inbox. Does your blood pressure immediately go up with all of the deadlines, reminders, and messages from administrators, students and parents? Mine does! And that is no way to start a beautiful day!

Instead, start your day with a tiny word of encouragement just for music teachers! Each message is handwritten and contains all-original ideas, words of wisdom, and reminders of your purpose from me (Debbie).

It's like getting a warm 'Good Morning!' from me to you, and it'll help every day get off on the right foot.

Today is a beautiful day to be reminded how important music teachers are!

What members have to say about the
Crescendo Music Education Membership...

Carolyn Gunston

"I use many of the resources from Crescendo in my teaching. It is wonderful to know that I have a place that I can easily go to if I need any support or ideas.

I would highly recommend becoming a member of Crescendo Music to all music teachers!"

Cathy Cheel

"I attended a number of workshops before I became a Crescendo member but only after I took up membership, did I realise how much information and support I had been missing out on in previous years. 

I now feel that any problem I have or any time I am looking for fresh ideas, I can look back on newsletters, email Debbie or attend a workship and I’ll always have support. It's good to connect with other music teachers, share ideas and find solutions to some of the problems we face at school.

Crescendo provides a great sense of community which is invaluable amongst specialist teachers."

Anne O’Regan

"Being the only primary music teacher at my school means that I have no colleagues with which I can discuss planning, resources and assessment. I felt professionally
isolated.

I feel much more organised and supported in my teaching role [now]. I think feedback to students is more authentic and the criteria for tasks is much clearer. My lessons are
more engaging with the resources I have gathered at workshops and through the [membership] website."
