Music in the Classroom - EDU 570CT

3.0 Semester Units

Register for this course now through June 30, 2013!

This course is designed to help teachers create a music program that will enhance the classroom environment while adding new dimensions to learning. No music degree or special talent is needed - just a little effort. The outcome is that students will leave class singing while reviewing lessons in their heads. This course will help the regular classroom teacher create a collection of music for use in every day curriculum that can be adapted to any subject or grade level. Included is a student response booklet with opportunities to respond to music with words and pictures.

By the end of this course the participant will:

  • Know how to use recorded songs to aid in developing a good learning environment.
  • Be able to teach the making of musical instruments out of everyday materials.
  • Play the soprano recorder.

Teaching Standards met in this course are:

  • Interrelating ideas and information within and across subject matter areas.
  • Using materials, resources and technologies to make subject matter accessible to students.
  • Using a variety of instructional strategies and resources to respond to students' diverse needs.
  • Developing and sequencing instructional activities and materials for student learning.
