Oh my goodness! It is so great to see someone else using Love and Logic in the music room. It really causes students to have to think about who they could be bothering and how they will solve the problems on their own. I rarely have to referee anymore, even in my Title 1 school. I have read all the books you mentioned, and when I am consistent with applying the techniques, life is just SO much easier.

Modeling in “Responsive Classroom” has saved me from hours of confusion. This program is constantly being researched and is a great reference.

I would love to hear your specific procedures for: entering, exiting, transitions, and wait time. I find that as soon as I turn my back to start a recording, I lose attention. I have also experimented with allowing 1-2 minutes of “chatting with a neighbor” as part of our entering procedure. Some would call it a “soft start” and then we end with a silent signal. I feel like it works with upper grades, but lower grades are hard to reign back in.
