Q: What is Online Training?
A: - Online Training is available at any time and includes online training videos based on the live trainings. Materials, online lessons, articles, samples lessons with complete videos of Lynn's classes will give teachers the training to know each age group, infants - age 6, and be successfully teaching early childhood music education. A Skype session will include some testing, recommendations and a time for questions. Phone consultation can also be scheduled for questions and assistance. Upon the completion of the training, we work with you to find the best options for resources, plans, recordings and instruments for your specific teaching situation.
Q: As a "Music Rhapsody" teacher, will I have to pay monthly Ed. fees?
A: No. Pay only a monthly fee of $25 and receive access to the lessons, videos and recording on the MR website, administrative support from the Music Rhapsody staff, discounts on materials and instruments, a free membership to Music Box and so much more!! Whether you have a studio of 20 students a week or hundreds of students through a school, the monthly membership fee for SMR teachers is always a low $25!!
Q: Who can be a Music Rhapsody teacher?
A: - Any individual who attends and completes the MR teacher training can become an MR member. This membership includes site access to musicrhapsody.com and Lynnkleinersmusicbox.com. These online resources provide materials, resources, and lesson plans that could be employed in a number of different teaching situations. Private studios, daycares, school classrooms, churches, and any other environment can be appropriate for teaching MR lessons.
