What? Music is the way we can express ourselves through song. It can be very helpful in the classroom. We you are learning something I think that you can remember it better if you put it to song. Students can learn to listen better through song and focus more.
So what? I want to try using music in my classroom to help my students remember things. I still remember songs today that I learned in elementary school. I think that music can also bring your class together. I need to remember when I am teaching a song that they student learn better hearing it and through repetition. Students can work on the beat and rhythm using instruments.
Now what? To prepare to teach music effectively I need to build up my music collection. I don't know very many teaching songs that would be great for the classroom. I will need to learn how to sing a lot of songs before I can teach them effectively. I will need to gather lots of music. I am going to practice by teaching a lesson on Tuesday. If my class does not pick up the song and learn something from it I am going to have to reevaluate my teaching method.
