Reflection on Music

After reading the text, working with music in class, and preparing your group presentation (as well as the other groups), what are your thoughts about using music in the classroom and particularly, how do you want to use music in your classroom?

I like the idea of using music in the classroom because that is how I learned best. Music put with a subject helped me in so many ways, that I know i will use more and more ways of learning with music in my class.

I will make sure that I have a soft song playing when they come in, when it's "quite reading time" and when they are working on individual assignments (math, spelling, etc.). I will aslo use music by letting the kids create their own songs about a subject (planets, states, counties, etc). My students will also (with lower grades) let students create music with instruments to help them realize that if they create something, it doesn't have to be like everyone else.
