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.
