Abstract	Measures of job satisfaction and preparedness from an initial survey with music teachers (n=40) were used to predict flow states using Csikszentmihalyi's theory of flow. Flow state and corresponding professional action data were collected through experience sampling. Multiple linear regression was used to show relationships between demographic information, satisfaction, and preparedness measures with each flow state from the quadrant model. Correlation was also found between reported flow state and corresponding professional actions. It was found that the optimal state of flow was correlated with higher satisfaction with student population and pay, higher levels of isolation, and lower levels of satisfaction with parental and community support. The state of control/relaxation was correlated with satisfaction with teacher preparation program. Additionally, the professional action of conducting rehearsal/performance was associated with the optimal flow state, stress/anxiety, and boredom/apathy. The action of teaching concept(s) was correlated with the optimal state of flow and the state of stress/anxiety. The action of planning/preparing instruction was correlated with the optimal state of flow and the state of control/relaxation. Implications from this study were used to provide suggestions for further research and change in the practice of training and supporting music teachers.
