The Music Crew Virtual Conference 2026

Description

The Music Crew Virtual Conference 2026
8 sessions. 4 hours of PD. Certificate of completion included.

Practical, classroom-ready strategies from working music teachers, self-paced and available online whenever you are. Sessions span elementary through secondary, taught by Music Crew members drawing on years of experience in the classroom. Topics include the middle school teaching cycle, mentor/mentee relationships, chronic pain and teaching, composer of the month systems, active listening strategies, concert alternatives, diverse perspectives in music lessons, and upper elementary singing games.

These sessions first aired free in our Music Crew Collaborative Facebook group, where we host a free virtual conference every year. This archive collects that year’s full lineup in one place, watchable any time, with a certificate for your hours.

When you finish, you’ll receive a certificate of completion for your PD hours. Acceptance of self-reported hours varies by state and district, so check your renewal requirements.
