Engagement
Memory enhancement
Emotional regulation
Cognitive development
Cultural appreciation
Motivation
If you are a World Language teacher, check out Facebook for groups that are gearing up for March Maddness type events (Manie Musicale Teachers & Señor Ashby's Locura De Marzo, ...do you know of any other languages that have a group like these?
What else can we do with songs? 🎶
Spanish, French, and Chinese teachers, check out Roxxem to practice listening skills and study games. Other languages or subjects can use songs to create blackout poetry, smashdoodles, or cloze activities. Leave a comment below on how you use music in your classes.
Health & Wellness
Check out Greenred Productions - Relaxing Music on YouTube.
Lyrics Trainer is also a great site with a lot of songs and lyrics already put together, or you can make your own.
