Musical instruments are a treat for most students. But, there should be a process, so students understand they have to earn playing with and on musical instruments. This way, everything will fall in order and the interviewer can understand your protocol for this focus.

"I love using musical instruments in my classroom. However, students only get to use them on special occasions. They have to work hard for the privilege. I usually teach concepts first that students need to know before playing the instruments. If they have mastered the concepts, then we can use the instruments."

We teach music concepts all throughout K-3 so by the 4th grade we can introduce recorders.

Great. Has this strategy worked for you in the past? How well do the students do with the recorders? Can you talk about your personal experience teaching musical instruments in class and how the children respond to this?
