I have been looking forward with great anticipation to the posts Steve indicated he might write as he spent time rethinking his approach to managing and teaching his music classes. His first post on this topic is up, and it is incredibly insightful! Classroom Managament through Attention to Individuals hits on a fundamental understanding that sets apart teachers who truly make a difference in the lives of students from just average teachers. Whether you teach in a classroom or an independent studio, Steve’s words are a reminder of what we should all keep in mind as we teach our students.

Wow! Thanks for your kind words, Natalie! I’m especially happy you found this interesting since it appears from your blog that you are used to working with smaller groups of students, while I tend to work with big groups for a very limited amount of time.
I’ll give you and your readers a little inside scoop on this mini-series. I’ve already written the posts, and am using WordPress’ feature of scheduling publication for future dates. I think I have each post scheduled for publication on Fridays in January.
