Six Music Classroom Management Strategies

Six-Music-Classroom-Management-Strategies-2

I recently came across an article by Rachel Maxwell and Jessica Corry called Six Music Classroom Management Strategies. As I read through the list, I noticed many similarities to topics that I have covered frequently. If you find yourself teaching in a music classroom of any sort in the near future, I highly recommend checking out the original article.

  1. Teach, Model, and Reteach Routines
  2. Use Nonverbal Signals
  3. Keep Rules Simple
  4. Organize Your Space
  5. Play More, Talk Less
  6. Consistent Expectations

Joel Wagner (@sywtt) began teaching band in 2002. Though he had a lot of information, his classes were out of control. He found himself tired, frustrated, disrespected by students, lonely, and on the brink of quitting. He had had enough. He resigned from his school district right before spring break of his second year and made it his personal mission to learn to be a great teacher. So You Want To Teach? is the ongoing story of that quest for educational excellence.
