Many students in a fourth grade classroom at Logan Elementary School are expressing numerous types of negative behaviors, are not motivated to learn, and do not stay on-task. In an effort to change these students, an action research study was conducted that implemented background music in the classroom. There were ten fourth grade students who participated in the study. The study was conducted over a course of three weeks. The researcher focused on four main points: does background music increase student motivation, positive behavior, relaxation, and staying on-task. The results suggest that the overall class met the project's main points. Implementing background music in the fourth grade classroom at Logan Elementary School has proven to be an effective tool.
