Welcome to the
Midnight Music Membership Community
demystifying technology for music educators worldwide, so you can make a meaningful impact in your classroom without the tech-stress.
Through step-by-step training, world-class online courses and creative lesson ideas, The Midnight Music Membership Community will help you seamlessly integrate technology into your classroom with confidence.
Designed for self-proclaimed ‘technophobes’, intermediate computer-users and those comfortable with tech in mind, this Community will become your go-to hub to create unforgettable musical experiences for your students.
Imagine, always having
somewhere to turn to
when you need to master a new program… when you’ve hit a tech roadblock (or landmine)… or when you are simply stumped for lesson inspiration…
This is your opportunity to tap into a safe, creative, and inclusive community whenever you need.
As a music educator,
you have an incredible opportunity to make an impact in the lives of your students
Whether they’re brand new to school, or soon to graduate, your daily work is sowing seeds that can eventually grow into a lifelong love for music! You’re raising up future songwriters, composers, artists, and educators just like you. Whether you teach them for a term, a year, or their entire school career, there is nothing more meaningful than watching them grow in their skills and love for music…
That’s what drives you… the look on your kid’s faces when their learning just clicks!
But teaching music doesn’t look like it used to
Music technology is the new kid in town, taking classrooms by storm and helping educate, engage, and inspire students in their love for music… that is, when it’s not wreaking havoc on your sanity, and causing major classroom disruptions! If you’re like most teachers, you probably have a love/hate relationship with technology (that changes from day-to-day!)
At their best, programs like GarageBand, Soundtrap and Bandlab can help your students create more music and grow their skills. With more and more kids having access to their own devices, they can take their learning beyond the classroom, and become masters of their craft on their own.
In theory, these clever programs and softwares can drive more creativity, foster more passion, and inspire more students to pursue a career in music…
but in reality?
incorporating technology into your classroom can
be an absolute NIGHTMARE.
No matter how comfortable you are with tech, or how long you’ve been teaching music,
integrating these programs into your classroom can be anything but seamless.
Does any of this describe your experience of technology in your classroom?
- Do you feel overwhelmed by the number of programs available and how each of them is different? And you don’t want to waste time or money investing in software that is hard to use and doesn’t help your teaching…
- Have you looked for easy-to-follow tutorials in the past, but it feels as if they’re speaking another language? And you feel defeated when the ‘tech talk’ just doesn’t make sense to you...
- Does learning the basics of the technology, and understanding the devices take up too much of your time? And you don’t feel like you can expand beyond the simple stuff and actually offer creative lessons…
- Do you struggle to combine technology with the hands-on lessons you love to teach? And want to strike a healthy balance in your classroom that keeps students engaged all throughout your lessons...
- Are you tired of tech failing you during your lessons, and not knowing how to troubleshoot when things go wrong? And you don’t have anyone reliable to turn to that can empower you to fix problems yourself when they occur…
- Are you driven crazy by unreliable internet and outdated devices that crash halfway through class? And you’re forced to rethink your entire lesson plan from scratch…
you deserve to reap all the benefits of technology
in your classroom to make your teaching lighter, easier and more enjoyable
So if you’ve tried (and struggled) to improve
your technology skills in the past,
you’re not alone…
If you’re like most music educators, you’ve probably taken it upon yourself to grow (and often self-fund) your skills. In a search for good-quality resources that fit your level of experience, maybe you’ve tried…
- Low-quality Youtube Videos that guide you through outdated versions of the programs (and cause more confusion than clarity!)
- Professional Development Days that offer generic advice that is great for other classroom teachers, but doesn’t apply in your unique environment
- User manuals made by the software creators that speak in ‘tech-talk’ (and are virtually impossible to understand)
- Online courses that don’t show you step-by-step how to use the programs in your classroom (and come with a lot of assumed knowledge)
- Facebook Groups that overload you with ideas and opinions, and send you on a wild goose chase with the wrong types of information
- School IT departments that offer band aid fixes, but don’t empower you to troubleshoot your tech (no matter how much you want to learn!)
These so-called solutions stir-up more questions than answers, so if they’ve left you feeling unempowered and disheartened, we get it…
at Midnight Music,
our mission is to empower
you to incorporate
technology into your
classroom with confidence!

Dear Katie, Thank you, thank you so much! You came in such a perfect timing when many teachers, especially not so young like me, are anxious of how to change our teaching via the internet. Thank you for preparing the slides with the steps so helpful, I wrote down a lot of what you said and really eased my mind a lot. I love the way you shared the differences of different platforms and different technologies and devices, the pros and cons etc. I just want to let you know that you have helped me to gain more confidence in teaching online. Once again, many thanks for your kind offer of such an excellent webinar.

Meet Katie Argyle
Midnight Music founder, global music teacher educator,
and your classroom’s new best friend
With over 12+ years of experience travelling the world to train thousands of teachers and speaking at hundreds of conferences, I’ve made it my mission to take the fear factor out of using technology in music education. There are simply too many incredible, smart, and highly-capable teachers feeling limited in their ability to make an impact on their student’s lives… all because of tech overwhelm.
I’m here to simplify software, demystify programs, and help you feel more confident using digital resources in your classroom. My hands-on style of coaching and teaching means I’ll always be there to answer your questions, and be a guiding light no matter what challenges you’re facing with technology.
If you’re a caring teacher who wants to see your students succeed, this community was created for you! I can’t wait to meet you inside…

Frequently asked questions
Then you will be amongst friends! The courses and workshops assume no prior knowledge and everything is explained clearly, without “tech-speak” or jargon.
I can guarantee that as soon as you join, you’ll find activities and lessons that you can use in class the very next day.
The Midnight Music Community has a large collection of courses, lesson plans, webinar replays and other tech resources.
If you’d like to see the content list you can find it here.
I tried one-off course payments when I first started running online courses back in 2012. It was ok, but there were a couple of problems. Firstly, teachers wanted ONGOING access to the course materials – longer than the 6 months I was able to grant them with the old setup. Secondly, some teachers also wanted to take 2, 3, 4 or sometimes 5 of my courses (I had 3 teachers do a total of 5 courses each and many other do 3 or 4 courses!) and the cost involved in paying for each one separately was mounting up.
With the Midnight Music Community subscription plan, you choose: you can pay for access for as long as you need it and instead of being forced to select just one single course, you are able to access ALL the courses and resources at once. That way you can choose to study what is important to you at any given time.
In the past, access to just ONE online course was around $200 and if you come along to one of my full-day workshops you’ll pay around $180-$300 per teacher. The annual cost of joining the Midnight Music Community for a FULL 12 MONTHS is less than $400 and if you need a more affordable option you can pay by the month. In addition, you get daily access to me – ask questions and share your frustrations and the I’ll do my best to solve them for you.
