Managing Behavior in the Music Classroom: A Trauma-Informed Approach

Managing behavior in the music classroom presents a unique set of challenges that a standard desk-and-chair classroom just doesn't face. Between the loud instruments, the constant movement, and the sensory overload, it is easy for both students and teachers to feel overwhelmed. In this episode, I’m joined by Charlie Peck and Joshua Stamper to discuss how we can look past the disruptions and understand the "language" of our students' behavior. We explore practical tools like the "environment audit" specifically for the music room and discuss why giving a dysregulated student space is often the most productive thing you can do. If you’re ready to trade the constant shushing for a more connected, calm, and joyful classroom environment, this conversation is for you.
