🎶 Running Your Elementary Choir - 3 Mistakes Music Teachers Make 🎶

In this episode of The Happy Music Teacher, Jeanette teams up with Bethany Main to tackle the chaos of running your elementary choir. Drawing from years of trial and error, they share the top three mistakes music teachers often make—and how to fix them. From not keeping rehearsals moving to showing up without a plan, these missteps can leave you (and your choir) feeling frustrated. And let’s not forget the challenge of choosing music that’s both doable and exciting for your students.

Jeanette and Bethany also talk about how to use the same strategies and tools that work in the general music classroom to bring structure and success to your choir rehearsals. Spoiler alert: neither of them had it all figured out in the beginning, and that’s okay! Their journey of learning through trial and error inspired their upcoming workshop, Keeping the Harmony in Your Choir Rehearsal, where they’ll share actionable tips, tricks, and resources to help you skip the trial-and-error phase entirely.
