EDUX 5640 (A, B, C, D). This course focuses on the interactive use of music in the classroom to improve students’ listening skills, memory, expressive movement, reading, writing and language development. This course will assist teachers in understanding the research studies that show how featuring music in language arts and literacy instruction greatly improves the reading and writing skills necessary to succeed in life. Participants will learn how including music in classroom instruction creates an environment conducive to learning, reduces stress, stimulates interest and actually makes the brain more receptive. Course participants will experience the wonderful advantages of learning through music. Assistance will be given to all participants in the development of projects that relate directly to their grade level and to the needs of their students.
Information regarding the specific COURSE REQUIREMENTS will be given the first day of class.
