The Hidden Music Teaching Challenge Most Teachers Face… And How to Transform It in One Class
by Janice Tuck
What if I told you that the real reason your music classes feel like chaos isn’t because you need better lesson plans—but because you’re missing the ONE critical step that happens before any real learning can take place?
 
You might have the most beautifully crafted activities and expensive instruments, but if students aren’t prepared for what you’re about to teach them, no amount of fancy resources will fix that classroom resistance.
 
That’s exactly why I’m so excited for you to hear today’s episode—because I’m exposing the barrier that could be sabotaging your classes and revealing the simple shift that makes students who used to groan:
 
“Do we have to?”
to then start show up asking:
“What amazing thing are we doing today?”
 
In this episode, I’m sharing the exact moment I went from making this critical error (and nearly losing my love for teaching music) to discovering the principle that transforms any classroom.
 
We’re unpacking why your current approach might be creating resistance instead of enthusiasm, and the secret behind lessons that don’t just deliver content but actually transform kids into lifelong musicians.
 
This isn’t another “tips and tricks” episode—this is me sharing the most vulnerable moment of my teaching career and the breakthrough discovery that my musician husband helped me see about the walls I was unknowingly building.
 
And if you’re tired of fighting for your students’ attention and feeling “push back” or resistance every single lesson, I invite you to test this ONE simple shift before your next music class.
 
The change is so dramatic that within minutes, you’ll see kids who were previously tuned out suddenly leaning in and asking for more!..
When your principal walks by and stops to ask “What are you doing differently?”,  you’ll know exactly what transformed your classroom. Email me with your “This completely transformed my classroom!” story because I live for these moments!
 
Your breakthrough is just 10 minutes away as you listen to this— don’t let another day go by struggling when the solution is right here.
