Music Classroom Observation

99 Words1 Page

I honestly can’t imagine that the elementary music classrooms we will be observing will be drastically different than any other elementary music classroom I’ve observed in the past. To some degree, I am expecting that the schools and the classrooms might appear less “well off” than some of the other schools I’ve observed.

    According to Johns Hopkins School of Education’s website, bringing in music to a classroom could result in altering one’s brain wave, a higher level of concentration, and increased attention and imagination (Brewer 1995).

The music helps create different feelings to emerge, inspiring creativity and a different outlook than simple textbook related material. Another well given point I found that was stated by another ELA teacher, Heather Wolpert-Gawron, was that music enhances the brain and inspires great writing prompts or poetry connections, similar to what Romick referred to as well (Gawron

    Spain Elementary/Middle School in Detroit is facing an issue of missing a musician teacher. As shown in the video, “Life Inside Detroit Public Schools” the school has all the necessary accessories to have a music class or even a legitimate band. Even though it’s an extracurricular, developing student’s early interests is beneficial for youth’s future. “Being on a team, in an orchestra, or in the cast of a play typically involves being a member of a general category (e.g., soccer player, percussionist), and participants are typically given specific roles to fulfill. These experiences promote the values of universalism and specificity (respectively).”
