Teaching Music, v12 n4 p83 Feb 2005
This article focuses in on one teacher's kindergarten through grade 5 classroom experiences at Tennessee's Chattanooga School for the Arts and Sciences. While, this teaching range allows the teacher to witness the growth and development of students, as with every school, there are times when young people's attention tends to wander, and the teacher needs to bring students back to tune into what is happening in class. This brief article describes how the teacher employs humor and acting to refocus the students.
