The New Year is not really the New Year for us music teachers. We are about smack dab in the middle of our school year. That being said, it feels a little like you should set some new goals and maybe re-think some of what’s happening in your music classroom. In this episode, I’m giving you five steps to help you start the second half of your year off right.
- Get back into the routine with a fluffy lesson.
- Review your procedures and transitions – inside of an actual lesson if you can.
- Revamp and change the things that aren’t working – transitions, lessons, whatever.
- Review your seating chart and make changes if needed.
- Make a plan for the rest of the school year.
Today’s tip: Teach a rest position for when your students are using instruments but not playing them so they can listen to your instruction.
