Music Lesson Reflection: Today ( taught my first lesson and was ery ner ous. ( felt as though it had a bit of a rough start, but got better as ( changed what ( was doing. *t the beginning, ( didn/t set out any strategies to get the attention of the class. So of course they were #uite chatty and before ( knew it, ( was ery o erwhelmed. ( knew ( had to do something to change the way the lesson was heading so ( told them that when ( raise my hand, ( e-pect them to raise their hands as well and stop talking. ( waited until e eryone/s hands were up before ( continued. This worked well for the rest of the class. ( used it about four times, which seems like a lot for a 01 minute class. (/m hoping that once they are more comfortable around me and understand that ( am their teacher that ( will ha e to use this tactic less and less. 2usic is one of the easiest sub,ects to see if students are meeting the ob,ecti es. ( could tell that all of the students knew the different dynamics by how they were singing. 3 eryone was participating and doing the actions which ( was ery happy about. Some of the students in the grade 4 classroom are #uite shy so ( was worried that they wouldn/t participate. *fter reading through the obser ation from 2rs. " and talking to her about my lesson, ( felt more confident. She said ( really focussed on beha iour and classroom management. Some things that ( noticed from her comments are that ( say $you guys' a lot when referring to the class. ( am going to try saying other things such as $boys and girls' or $grade 4/s' in the future. ( also want to work on being clearer with my words when ( am telling them what ( e-pect from them and what they are to be doing.
