Course Overview
The Successful Music Room: Lesson Planning is the second course in the five-part Lessons from the Music Room series, a professional development collection built around veteran music teacher Cheryl Baker's classroom-tested guide for music educators. This course moves from the big picture down to the daily details: establishing your Program of Studies and yearly goals, sequencing quarter and unit plans, accounting for your real weekly schedule, and building a daily lesson-plan system that actually works for you.
Drawing on Cheryl's four decades of classroom experience across rural and urban schools in four states, this course pairs real planning documents and templates — long-range plans, quarter grids, daily lesson formats — with the reasoning behind them, so you can adapt the system to your own students, schedule, and district requirements. You'll walk away with a reusable planning framework and companion worksheet you can return to at the start of every school year.
Part of the Series:
This course is part of Lessons from the Music Room Collection, a five-course series covering everything from initial classroom set-up to lesson planning, classroom management, and best practices for elementary music. Each course builds on the practical, real-world approach found in Cheryl Baker's book and can be taken individually or as part of the full series.
Here is the class outline:
