As a music teacher, there are ways in which I already incorporate social-emotional learning into my classroom for example with my younger students they learned a turkey song last month and we went through the different emotions they thought the turkey would be feeling and why. Going forward I could also incorporate social-emotional learning with my older students. They will be working on a composition group project soon and we can talk about social management skills and how to effectively work together. WIth music there is always the opportunity to talk about feelings in music and the reasons behind those feelings.
