Discussion Comment

In my test questions I stress the things I believe are most important for my students to remember. In my Business of Music class it is more important to understand copyright and publishing more than learning music history.

use tests as reinforcement of what you've taught

I want my students to remember the important things we discuss. My test questions reflect this.

Whole class involvement

It's important not to let the same students answer all the questions. Make sure you call on the entire class to answer questions or add to discussions.

Using DVD's to enhance lessons

I use DVD's from different sources containing interviews with professional music business people. When some of the most successful people in the business tell my students what I have already told them it deffinitely sets the hook.
