Monthly Intensives for Music Teachers
From the studio to the classroom.
A year-round series of free, practical workshops for the people who teach music — wherever, and however, they teach it.

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.
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.
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.
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.

Why it's free
Accelerate is free because our sponsors believe in the people who teach music. Their support covers the cost, so you never see a registration fee — and a wider circle of teachers gets through the door.
