I have begun to incorporate music in the classroom by having "calming" music playing when the kids enter and begin morning work. You can also use music to help remember or memorize information such as a catchy song or tune. I have also used musical tones for poems or sight words to help how to spell words out.

Quiet music during morning or work time, class playlist to get to know each other and play for fun, integrate music with literacy as students re-create stories non-verbally. Music for transitions, or students can make up a song for a unit of study....I mean anything, really!

I use movement breaks for students attached to music and it's always a hit. Another way is to incorporate it for helping remember important concepts in science, history, math, etc. Lastly, with transitions or during certain blocks of time having a set style of music for those blocks or a certain song for a transition.

We can integrate music into every part of the curriculum. During history class, kids could learn what music people listened to in that certain era, or how music influenced certain movement-B like the Black Power Movement.  In English Language Art, kids could choose music- even contemporary music- that could be a good soundtrack for a book and poetry. Music helps with concentration, quiet classical music could be played during independent work time. Folk music would be a wonderful way to get to know each other’s backgrounds and develop sensitivity to people from different cultures.   Young kids love nursery rhymes, especially the ones that they can dance to or act out a game.

I use background classic music for smart kids on playing time, usually Mozart, I have been noticing that they do better with music. I will use timers to help with quicker transitions. I will have students picking up music that they like most for thinking time. I love music and kids too.

I play music while the kids are participating in their PE activities. When we are outside in the gaga pit I play competition type music, the kids love it. I definitely want to use calming music in the health classroom for brain breaks. Plus, we transition from PE and they need something more calming :) I could also use different music as I introduce new health topics.

I can integrate music into my classroom through playing soft classical music in the background throughout the day. I use brain breaks that include thoughtful selection of music... I ask students about their musical preferences. I play special music for celebrating their birthdays.

I play calming instrumental music during independent writing/reading time, more upbeat popular songs (usually their choice that I've pre-approved) during art projects (and they always sing along. LOUDLY.) I also have more calming music playing for my classes who come in after lunch or PE. It helps them to move their higher energy into a more focused energy.

You can use music to teach basic core concepts (multiplication tables, states/capitals, etc.), timed transitions and music/movement brain breaks. You can also use music during morning meeting time or for dance party "rewards".

I can use quiet Disney piano songs on YouTube in the morning when kids come in and start their bell work. This soft music will let them know it is quiet thi8nk time and also helps students remember to be quiet during bell work time. I sometimes tell students "if you are louder than the music you are too loud and need to talk softly". I can use music during transition time. When we have reading centers, students know that when they hear the song "try everything" by Shakira they know it is time to switch and walk to the next station. I can also use music when practicing new concepts such as learning about a new letter or vowel and learning how to count by ones and fives.

Calm down music after lunch or recess to refocus kids before going on to next lesson. Brain breaks are another way I incorporate music throughout the day when students need to get up and move. Videos that incorporate skills we are working on in Kindergarten math such as counting to 100 or number bonds are a great introduction to whole group.

I want to play music as kids enter the room. I like the idea of the kids picking what the transition song will be. Used as a reinforcer to behavior, and a reward by making a choice. I'd be ok being silly and singing a song. What ever it would take to engage my kids. Different presentations for different age groups.

I like to use quiet music to help focus during work time. I love using video with music to introcduce or enforce a lesson. With younger kids, I like using musical brain breaks. I also like to have musical choice when giving a formative assessment through a choice board.

I really want to try to the musical timers during transitions. I use timers often, but I will add music.
I love to use quiet music during art, it helps the kids relax and really get into what they are doing.
I was encouraged by Matt to not just use the music lessons and play them, but to learn them and teach them myself. I want to show kids its ok to be silly and not be prefect!

I definitely want to use music for transitions, brain breaks and using music to get kiddos "hooked" for new topics I might cover.

Quiet time / mindful minute is a great time for some light background music.
I like utilizing classical music with no words during work time, such as writing lessons or math.
Transition times are also good uses of music. It build a repetition and routine they can grow into that helps reinforce classroom behavior expectations.

Quiet music during morning work time. Brain breaks during longer work times. The timer for transitions, the students love picking a different timer every day. Starting math/foundational skills with a video for what they are learning.

I could easily incorporate music in my classroom via transitions during activities.  Also, music as timers would work well.  I've also used school house rock ("conjunction junction"), for grammar work.  Finally, I play music (clean pop songs) in the background while they work.

My students LOVE to have lo-fi music playing during quiet work time.  Lifeat.io is a fantastic website to use.  It has a timer, fun backgrounds and can connect to your spotify account.  My daughter showed it to me--she uses it to study.  Also, great to use music for teaching (my kids learned the periodic table and the states by memorizing songs).  I love the idea of using music/songs for transitions.  My son learned the "clean up song" in elementary school and I still hear it in my head when I pick up around the house!

I have music as students enter the classroom with the morning directions.
I also use music during transitions or when is time to clean up.
There is music/ videos during snack time.
I also use music to end the day, as a good bye song.

I primarily work with students who struggle with academics, in a Sped Resource classroom. I mostly use music in brain breaks and as a reward for getting work complete. I would also like to use music more for teaching strategies, as the students that I work tend to struggle with memorization.
