Maintaining Classroom Discipline (1947). Good and bad methods of disciplining inappropriate classsroom behavior. This was a very well made instructional movie for teachers. While there are new & different problems in the modern schools, the basic ideas of this film still holds. The opening messages are exactly what the best research on classroom behaviour tells us: 1.

Disciplinary problems in the classroom are symptoms of underlying weaknesses in total learning situation.

This short documentary was produced in 2001 and is about the working method for music in classroom that I have developed and - until last year - was put into practice on a secondary school in Oss-Brabant.
