Lights, camera, MUSIC and action! You know how music expands attention and memory at the movies? Here are easy yet effective techniques for using music to increase memory abilities and heighten enthusiasm in the classroom. This presentation abounds with how-to ideas for evoking successful learning experiences through the power and playfulness of music. You’ll learn two music therapy principles that explain why music works and learn the tricks to picking music that works best for your use. And you’ll leave knowing about music research that points us in the right direction for effective ways to use music in learning. When you add soundtracks into your teaching you’ll not only be a box office hit with your students but you’ll discover how much more motivated they are to participate and learn.
These techniques can be integrated into any topic and adapted for all ages. No musical knowledge or experience necessary--this course is designed for all classroom teachers!
