HOW CAN I USE MUSIC IN THE CLASSROOM? Management: use music as a transition, choose a song that is the right amount of time for your students to be ready for the next learning experience. When the song is over, they are ready to begin. Set the tone: during independent practice, play music in the background to set the tone. Want them calm? Play Bach or Chopin. Brain breaks: use short excercises to give them breaks during the academics of the day.
LETS DO IT! Brain Breaks: Creative movement with scarves. Place yourselves in a circle around the room. One person leads, all others follow the movements. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZbZSe6N_BXs Rhythm Sticks: Sit in a circle around the floor. Follow the pattern.
