Kansas Music Standard #8: The teacher of music has skills in establishing effective music-learning environments.

The teacher understands appropriate administrative, financial,
management, organizational, and operational aspects of an overall music
program.
- The teacher understands planning and
implementation skills for music classroom instruction and performance
at all developmental levels.
- The teacher understands use and implementation of appropriate technology for the music classroom.
Performance
-
The teacher manages instructional time effectively through
appropriately structured learning-activities, efficient transitions and
pacing, balanced presentations of music education materials, and music
for performance.
- The teacher develops strategies for a balance of auditioned and all-inclusive musical participation.
- The teacher incorporates technology in instruction.
- The teacher applies music assessment strategies that evaluate the program and ensure students’ continual improvement.

Music education is more than making music. There are many other aspects of music
education that have to happen before learning can occur. These tasks include budgeting, lesson planning,
scheduling, strategizing, and organizing.
As a music educator you are not just the music teacher. You are an administrator, an instrument tech,
a computer tech, an accountant and many more roles. All of these roles have to be covered by the
music educator to create a good and effective learning environment.
