Music in the classroom 🎶🎵

Music...who doesn't like music? Music can be used in multiple different ways in the classroom: To create discussion of attitudes and feelings, to encourage creativity and use of imagination, to provide a relaxed classroom atmosphere, to bring variety and fun to learning. We can play some piece of music and ask our students what sort of emotions they evoke. You can ask students to imagine a person who likes/doesn't like this music and describe them.
