Why Use Music in Class?
"Music can be used to help control a classroom environment or to support the content within that class. It can be used to signal different transitions within the class as well as to serve as a writing prompt itself. ... Music opens up neurons, opens doors in your brain that create a kind of loft space receptive to learning."
