Feeling the end-of-year burnout creeping in? In this episode, BethAnn Hepburn joins Bryson to share simple, creative ways to keep your music classroom feeling joyful and energized—especially when testing is over and attention spans are short.

BethAnn shares how movement, outdoor learning, and playful music-making can help match students’ energy and keep things fun all the way through the last week of school. From singing games to drum circles, her ideas are practical, adaptable, and rooted in her rich background in Orff and general music education.

If you’re looking for a little inspiration (and permission to keep it light), this conversation is full of reminders that music can still be meaningful—even in May.
