What is Mystery Musician?
Mystery Musician is classroom management tool is very flexible and can be used with the rules already established in your music classroom. It is a version of the “Secret Student” management approach used in general classrooms.
 
At the beginning of class, the teacher selects a student and keeps that student a secret from the class. If the student is not making good choices or being a model student, the teacher can say things like:
 
- “Wow, my Mystery Musician is handling the instrument exactly as I asked!”
- “My Mystery Musician has their listening ears on right now, nice work!”
- “Uh oh, my Mystery Musician isn't makings the best choices right now."
Statements like this still keep the chosen student a mystery while giving all students an opportunity to reflect on their own behavior and correct it if necessary.
 
At the end of class, if the mystery musician met expectations, they will be revealed by the teacher and given either a reward of choice by the teacher or one of the classroom coupons provided in this bundle. If they didn't meet expectations, no name is revealed and there is no Mystery Musician that Day.
