75/1089H Sprouting Joy – Cultivating Social Emotional Learning in the Music Classroom by Loren Tarnow Austin, Texas elementary music educator Loren Tarnow came to SEL the same way most teachers come to things—because it worked. Social Emotional Learning (SEL) strategies helped her transform a stressful classroom into one where joyful music making could happen, where her students could learn and retain music and develop a lifelong love for music. In Sprouting Joy, Loren has translated those strategies into lessons and activities specific to the music classroom to create an uplifting and practical resource for all elementary music teachers.
