Student teaching in the music classroom is a unique experience that incorporates issues beyond those encountered in general education classroom settings. Music educators plan for singing, movement, performances, rehearsals, score preparation, intensive parent involvement, budgets, uniforms, community outreach, and the list can and does go on. While general education texts may offer students advice on effective teaching strategies and classroom management, it is highly unlikely that these strategies will be fully applicable to the uniqueness of the music classroom.
