When I Listen to Music.
James, Alan Russell
Young Children, v55 n3 p36-37 May 2000
Using music in the classroom enhances learning. Music and dance provide an opportunity for positive social interaction. Singing fosters understanding of the sound and rhythm of language. Exposing children to the patterns of different kinds of music helps them to recognize patterns in mathematics. Background music in the classroom reduces stress and motivates learning. (TJQ)
