Why Choose Anacrusis?
We understand the real challenges educators face, from building engaging curriculum to preparing students for performances, and we’re committed to walking alongside you every step of the way.
The name Anacrusis refers to the "pickup" before the first full measure in music, an unstressed beginning that propels everything forward. We believe music educators are that pickup: the spark that sets growth in motion for their students. Through innovative resources, inservice training, custom choreography videos, and choral clinics, we aim to equip directors with everything they need to help students find, grow, and nourish their voice, both musically and personally.
At Anacrusis, you’re not just teaching music. You’re changing lives. We’re here to make sure you never have to do that work alone.
