Music

Music is necessary for children and their brain development. Many studies have proven that exposing children at a young age(the younger the better, even before birth) that there are many positive affects to the development of the brain. Preparing to become a teacher, I feel that incorporating music into my class is essential. I am hoping to teach k-2 and these are excellent years for music integration. All ages are good, but there are so many fun and interesting ideas to integrate music with the younger students. Just starting with simple tunes to help them memorize phone numbers, days of the week, colors, letters, numbers, months, season, etc. Children seem to respond very positively with the use of music and using simple fun songs and tunes to help them learn and remember all kinds of information.
