Pitch Publications RESOURCE CATALOGTeach music. Love life.

ABOUT ME Have you ever thought? • There is so much to do and not enough time! • My students deserve better than this. • I want to have fun teaching music again! • I just wish I could leave work at work. • I am exhausted! • I saw that on Pinterest but just don’t have time to create it! • I’m a great teacher, but I just can’t do it all! • I need more time for my family, friends and myself.If the answer is “yes!” to any these, you are in the right place! I’m Shelley Tomich, and I help busy music teachers like you deliver time saving, engaging lessons so you have more time to enjoy your life! I In my 14 years in music education, I learned the hard way that we can’t do everything AND maintain our sanity! I also learned that sometimes it “takes a village.” Lesson planning can be a draining experience during the school year. Let’s put our collective knowledge together to give you the time be the amazing teacher you already are! You CAN love teaching AND have a life!Pitch Publications
