A part of understanding our diverse classrooms and students is by engaging with diverse knowledges, resources, writers and artists  - the list goes on! If we seek to build on our student’s funds of knowledges in the classroom, or forefront historically marginalised voices and knowledges, this is a key step. This is also relevant to AITSL Standard 3.4 - 'select and use resources', which are widely varied and engage student's in their learning.   One example from my own practice is bringing music into my classroom, and my focus has been on First Nations artists from across the country. Attached below is my current playlist, built up from my own finds and with inputs from students who have suggested new artists and songs – they are the best resources! When I use music as a starting or talking point in my classes, it opens up a world of interesting discussions and deeper understanding, especially when relevant to the lesson content. Give it a listen! (Post by: Tahlia)

I helped a piano teacher double her enrollments in 3 months. She was frustrated—her lessons were great, but no one was signing up. 😣 We sat down, and I asked her: “Who is your ideal student? What do they care about?” That’s when everything changed. 😮 It’s not about pushing your lessons—it’s about speaking directly to the students who need you. Once we changed her messaging, her enrollments skyrocketed. 🔥 If you’re a music teacher struggling to fill your classes, let’s discuss how strategic copy can help you grow.

Why do you want to integrate the arts into your teaching? What are you trying to accomplish? For example, when I integrate music listening experiences into my classroom, I am teaching students as much about the music and its meaning to us as I am using music to help us write great poems and stories. Students first experience the music (one song for one week), then they are ready to use those experiences to develop their writing skills. It takes effort to truly integrate the arts into your teaching and your students’ learning.

“How can I represent the different cultural backgrounds of my students when there are so many cultures that they represent?” This is a question I get asked often by music educators, and I remember having this very same question myself. Culturally responsive teaching isn’t actually about representing every individual culture in every rehearsal or lesson, instead, it’s about creating learning environments and instruction that connect with learners and affirm who they are. There’s not one way this can look, and in my upcoming book, Music as a Vehicle, I specifically share ways that you can create instruction that connects with your learners without feeling overwhelmed by trying to represent every culture individually. Additionally, Music As a Vehicle provides practical strategies for navigating cultural diversity in your classroom, guiding you toward cultural proficiency in music education. With this resource, you'll feel confident knowing how to get on the path to connecting with each of your students, no matter their background.

A common issue I see with many of our clients at Hart & Songs is whether they’re correctly collecting their mechanical royalties or if songs are missing from their catalog. One tool I love is The Mechanical Licensing Collective’s Public Search database, which I use to cross-reference my clients' catalogs—even when they’re signed with a publisher or publishing administrator. It’s crucial to regularly verify registrations because I often find gaps where something fell through and recent songs aren’t being collected. LINK ---> https://lnkd.in/g58WKxnh Simply assuming that your publisher or publishing administrator handles everything isn’t enough. Regularly checking with your PRO and other collection organizations can help you keep track of any missing registrations and ensure you’re collecting everything you’re owed. #MusicPublishing #RightsManagement #Publishing #Music #MusicManagement #Catalog #Royalties #MLC
