music in the classroom
today in class, we learned about how music helps influnce and improve learning. it can be efficent in aiding the visually impaired in the class also. I plan on teaching in the elementary school setting, and i want to incorporate music into my stretching routines. for every stretch, an upbeat song will be played, and when the music changes to another song, it will signal to class to change to another exercise. while observing the seneca valley school district last year, i saw that this structure kept the children active and eager to learn.

Hello Nikki, I also believe that music is a great thing to intervene into your phys ed classes. Music is something that keeps momentum and energy in your class, to help maintain a good healthy enviroment for your students. Using music in your stretches I think is a great way to get the kids involved and moving throughout the class to keep there interest in what you are doing.
I couldn't agree more. I have alos experienced musci being incorporated into a class, althought is wasn't a PE class. However, I believe it does help in the classroom. I had a class that whenever we took tests or did assingments in class we would listen to clasical music to relax us and help concentrate more on our work. Music is a great way to motivate students.
