07 | Fostering a Positive Community in the Music Classroom

Thank you for listening to this episode of That Music Podcast. This week I’m sharing about how I strive to create a positive community in the music classroom.

A positive classroom environment is incredibly important. In the music room, it can mean the difference between a student feeling confident enough to try something new and refusing to participate.

While all teachers begin to craft their own classroom philosophies based on their education, past experiences, and personal differences, I believe there are a few published philosophes that I have greatly drawn on to create my own.
