Learning made easy with Music.
Some days I can barely remember my own phone number, but ask
me to sing a popular song that I haven’t heard in 20 years and I can remember
every line. Music is a great way to
learn and memorize information. It is an
enjoyable process with no stress or pressure, just a fun way to develop a new
skill.
Who remembers School House Rock? I learned all about American History and
English Grammar from a Saturday morning cartoon short but I can tell you the
purpose of a conjunction and I know how a bill becomes a law. I know that an “interjection, shows
excitement, or emotion. They’re
generally set apart from a sentence, by an exclamation point, or by a comma
when the feeling’s not as strong.”
Studies have shown that using music as a teaching tool
enhances learning and memorization.
Music nourishes the brain while affecting all areas of development,
including strengthen listening skills, language and phonic awareness, and
encourages participation. In addition to
calming and helping the mind focus, music can create feelings of general well
being.
So if music makes learning easy and fun, then I suggest that
we embrace it. Dust off our dancing
shoes, turn up the volume and encourage our kids to get moving to the rhythm of
