If you are struggling with certain students, this gives you practical ways to help them succeed.

If you feel confident in your teaching, this helps you refine and strengthen what you are already doing.

If you are unsure at times, this gives you a framework you can rely on.

Teachers may begin by joining The Dennis Frayne Association for Music Education.

Founding Member enrollment is limited, and early participation provides the greatest access to current and future program benefits.

Certification enrollment is available separately and may be pursued when the teacher is ready to begin the program.

Closing
