 I use a good audience manners chart in my music room. It stays posted on the wall.

 

GOOD AUDIENCE MANNERS

 Watch - picture of two eyes

 Listen - picture of two ears

 Respect - picture of a heart

 Appreciate - two hands clapping

 We review this EVERY time someone performs OR we listen to a selection of classical music, which we do EVERY week.

 The classroom teachers like the chart so much they use it in their classrooms, too. It's simple and to the point.
