Music Ed Mentor Podcast #037: Creating Zen in the Music Classroom

Our last episode featured secrets for staying happy and healthy this holiday season. To build on that theme, this week my guest is Dan Tricarico, author of The Zen Teacher: Creating Focus, Simplicity, and Tranquility in the Classroom. Our discussion will give you some more ideas for staying happy and healthy. It’s up to you whether you implement them during this busy season, or wait to use them to help you start the year anew in January.

    • What we can do to be calmer and more centered: no matter what is happening in the classroom
    • How can we deal with frustrating students, parents, colleagues, and administrators
    • How to bring some zen into your classroom to improve student behavior, increase student retention, and gain an overall joy of teaching
