Music Mind Games Workshops

Unit 1 Workshops

Music Mind Games workshops are designed for music teachers to learn and focus on both practical concepts and philosophy. Our unique philosophy can be experienced by playing Music Mind Games games with a trainer and other music teachers. Teachers take home many new teaching ideas that their students will love. Our workshops are led by Teacher Trainers who have years of experience teaching Music Mind Games in their own studios or classrooms as well as in leading teacher training workshops.
