%X Classroom management is a common concern for preservice teachers and can be a key to success for in-service teachers. In this article, I discuss six strategies for classroom management: design and lead engaging music activities, employ music-rich transitions, balance familiarity and novelty, plan for success, communicate clear expectations, and practice mindfulness. For each strategy, I share examples and considerations drawn from early childhood music classes from a variety of settings. Music teachers often teach many levels of students, and it is important to calibrate our classroom management style to our learner¡¯s developmental level
