How do you effectively balance discipline with an engaging and enjoyable learning environment?

I am currently a High School Senior looking for a degree in music education. I am very excited to help guide the new generation! I love babysitting my neighbors and work as a camp counselor, however, I find that it is hard to find a balance between having fun and being disciplined. If I play too much into the fun, they get out of control and then refuse to listen to me. But if I am too harsh on them they end up not having any fun at all. I want to know how current teachers find this balance?
