If you are a music teacher looking for fresh ideas, ready-to-use printables, and practical teaching tips that actually work in a real classroom, Lessons with Shana Plus was created for you.

This paid monthly newsletter is designed to help you save time, teach with confidence, and feel inspired throughout the school year. Each issue includes classroom-ready tools and thoughtful teaching support so you can spend less time searching for resources and more time focusing on your students.

Whether you teach vocal music, general music, instrumental music, or a mix of everything, Lessons with Shana Plus is here to make your teaching easier, more organized, and more creative without adding more to your plate.

Why I Created Lessons with Shana Plus

As a secondary music teacher, I know how much music educators are asked to juggle at once. There is always something demanding your attention, whether it is planning rehearsals, preparing for concerts, managing assessments, teaching multiple courses, or trying to stay organized during a busy season.

Most music teachers are already stretched thin. After a long day, the last thing you want to do is spend your evening hunting for worksheets, templates, or activity ideas that may or may not actually fit your classroom.

That is exactly why I created Lessons with Shana Plus.

Each monthly issue is designed to deliver practical, high-quality resources you can use right away, along with teaching ideas grounded in real classroom experience.

What You’ll Get Each Month

Each issue of Lessons with Shana Plus includes a mix of practical resources and teaching support to help you stay prepared and save time.

Each month, you will receive a simple, useful classroom resource you can implement right away. Depending on the issue, this could include:

Everything is designed to be clear, practical, and easy to use.

These templates are meant to save time while helping your classroom feel polished, engaging, and efficient.

Each issue includes one short, actionable teaching idea you can apply right away. Topics may include:

• running more effective rehearsals

These are real strategies from my own teaching experience, not generic advice.
