NEXT SESSION
How to NOT Get Fired From Your Next (Or First) Job!
with Tom Palmatier from SBO+ Magazine | Wednesday, October 28 | 7PM Eastern Time
What it is
One focused workshop a month. Live, online, and free.
Each session takes on a real challenge of teaching music — the kind that doesn't fit in a quick tip — and hands you something you can use the very next week. No travel, no ticket, no catch.
Why it's built this way
Paced to the way teaching actually unfolds
Most professional development asks you to absorb a year's worth of ideas in a single weekend, then sends you home to figure out the rest alone. Accelerate runs the other way — a steady monthly rhythm that meets you one challenge at a time, with room to try it, come back, and build on it.

If you teach music, this is for you
Different rooms, same work — and Accelerate is built for all of it.

How it works
Simple by design
A new workshop every month, live online.
Led by educators who are still in the work — practitioners, not theorists.
Free to register for any session; join live to ask your own questions in real time.
Can't make it? Every session is recorded and saved, so you can catch up when the week allows.
What the year covers
The whole reality of the job
Across the series, sessions take on the parts of teaching that actually shape a career — practical, specific, and grounded in real classrooms.
