In this episode, I talk with Matthew Stensrud, better known as "Mister S Orff" about the responsive classroom and movement ideas in the music room. He shares so many amazing ideas that are easy to implement and that I know you'll gain so much value from.

If you're unfamiliar with what the responsive classroom is, then this episode will help you out so much. You'll find out how to connect with your students better, ways to include movement and to get them involved in the learning process, and how to really make your music classroom your own.
