Alan Pilkenton, a K-8 art teacher at Mid-Michigan Public School Academy in Lansing, Michigan
To get the attention of my students, I blow a harmonica. When the students hear the harmonica, they know that they are to stop what they are doing, look at me and listen quietly. I have the kindergarten and first grade students put their hands on their heads as well which they think is fun. I wear the harmonica around my neck at all times and use it with all my students, K-8.
