As I mentioned in a previous post, I work at an educational camp during the summer called SuperCamp. At camp, we use a lot of music, and in the course rooms during academic times are no exception!
Music can be a great addition to the classroom for a couple of reasons. First of all, it can help set the mood and the tone of an activity. For example, a teacher could play soft music without lyrics in the background while students are doing any kind of writing. I have witnessed my fieldwork teacher use this technique and her students now request the music often. Similarly, music can be used while students are sharing ideas with partners.
Music can also be a great way to remember things for anyone, especially auditory learners. Creating a song or changing the lyrics to a song to remember classroom material can be very effective. Music is a great way to engage students in classroom activities!
