It is currently Music in our Schools month, So, I thought I might share a little bit related to music. I'm not a music teacher, but I am passionate about music and appreciate its power. Music is a magical form of communication that breaks down any barrier and brings people together. I take any chance I can get to listen, create, or experience music. You can ask any one of my students, that if there isn't any music playing in my classroom, it's only because I'm not in school that day. Music really does sooth the beast, and control the attitudes in a classroom. If you want high energy play some good Rock, if you want students to be chill and focus, play some good jazz (this is a good tune for when students are working in groups...watch out at 6:04, you might have an uncontrollable urge to shake your body!)
The Chrome Music Lab makes you feel like a kid again. It is really fun to create mini-tunes and take a break to just live in the moment. Sure, there are a lot of music making tools out and about, but this one is so simple. All you need is a bit of creativity and you are off. Enjoy the music and have some fun, check out Chrome Music Lab.
