Chaotic Harmony

Crystal and Jon talk about how to help reach students who don’t easily engage in the lessons offered in music class. How do we get students who give up easily to keep going? How do we help students have fun when learning can be painful? We don’t have lots of solutions, but we do have a few suggestions.
