Reflection #4: Music

I think that music in the classroom should be necessary. Emotions can be affected deeply by music and can really help the learning environment. I loved the mention of using classical music in the classroom to calm and help stimulate students learning. I noticed that even when we used music in our class presentation the emotions of the students really changed and helped keep then engaged and entertained with the lesson. Music is also a very good way to help students learn their lessons and memorization of key element they need to learn.
In my own classroom I plan on using music often. I will use music and a daily starter to help students get out their wiggles and be able to express their feeling for the day. I also plan on using music in the background of lessons and as a calming factor for study. I also plan on using music as a means to help repetition learning's and memorization.
