There are many great reasons and ways to use music in your classroom. What can music do for you? Well, music creates a mood, engages the brain and it actually boosts endorphins! The human brain can process 800 words per minute and a teacher can only speak about 150 words per minute. Playing music in the learning environment engages more of the brain than our words alone. Teachers can use music for transitions and energizers. Since memory is linked to emotion and students usually remember most what happens in the beginning and ending of an experience, playing music as they enter the classroom and leave the classroom will leave them with memories of a positive experience.
Try it! Your students will thank you!
