[Taggart, Cynthia Crump., Meeting the musical needs of all students in elementary general music, pp.127-142]



     In this article, Taggart's main summary is about what she believes is the proper thing(s) to do when it comes to handling their classes. She talks about how she believes you need to structure your lessons in order to keep all of your students maintained within the lesson and focused and interested. The students enjoyment of the class lessons will be better if you can design it to keep each student engaged and entertained.
     I don't have any personal connection to teaching kids and keeping everyone engaged in lessons. I do not have the connections because I have yet to take a teaching position which would allow me to plan and write my own lessons on a daily basis and work on that. I need that opportunity to express myself and show my talents.
     I believe in Taggart's philosophy. I personally believe that it is HIGHLY ESSENTIAL when you make lesson plans for your own class that you work tediously to engage each individual student to keep them interested and wanting to learn more. I don't believe that enough teachers are doing that today and it is taking a toll on our students in the classroom.
