Going in reverse order Feeling like you ' re going insane ? That ' s normal . You aren ' t . Enjoy it because it can be fun to pretend . Teach phrases if you can , then go to the smallest possible chunks . Do several reps then build . Eventually , lots of repetition . If you ' re like me , you won ' t have enough time each week to make this ideal . All kids play games , as in everything is a game to them . You ' re someone ' s kid too , right ? The trick is to redirect their energy into a winwin situation , but we default to winlose . Make them play your game , but do not play theirs . Come up with little things that get them to think rehearsal is a game like whoever gets this rhythm correct first gets to choose the next spot to rehearse ! Then let them do it . It gives them a feeling of control and that they matter . It will take some time to develop . Ultimately , all students have a strong need for significance and certainty . You have to make some things the same every time , and let them feel important along the way . All of them , even those little demonic moon bats who deserve a 2 x 4 to the skull . No , I ' ve never done that . I practice selfcontrol exercises and martial arts to deal with those kind of thoughts . Lastly , find a way to use humor in everything . That will engage them well , even if they roll their eyes . Keep going until they crack like a melon falling on a car from a 60 story building . They want to know you care enough and that they matter to you . The fact that you posted here indicates you are already there and are not failing your kids ! I teach elementary general music and high school percussion . Was an assistant band director for a time . Started in 2001 .
