There are so many ways to use music but here are some ways I do in my classroom:
1. During work time-- I am a huge Disney fan and I love playing the instrumental Disney playlist during work time for my kiddos.
2. During transitions-- i have used the doctor who theme, avengers, and harry potter as my transitional songs in the past. 
3. Brain Breaks-- I am new to these and I used my very first go noodle! It's a Frozen one!! ]]> 2020-08-05 22:03:52 UTC https://padlet.com/ESDU1/dacha2dm7xqk6fdu/wish/670679893 https://padlet.com/ESDU1/dacha2dm7xqk6fdu/wish/670682948 1) I like to play music while students are doing DEAR time (Drop everything and read). I play classical music and the students say it helps them focus.
2) I play instrumental music of popular songs during work time. Students can recognize the tune, but don't sing along because there are no words. I also use it as volume control. If students are working in small groups quietly, I tell them that if they can't hear the music playing, their voices are too loud. 
3) I like to use timers with music when we play group games. It represents the think time the group has to come up with an answer. I like to use the jeopardy song (or similar songs) that they recognize so they can tell how long they have left.]]> 2020-08-05 22:08:38 UTC https://padlet.com/ESDU1/dacha2dm7xqk6fdu/wish/670682948 https://padlet.com/ESDU1/dacha2dm7xqk6fdu/wish/670683354 1. I like to incorporate music during independent writing time. I've found that playing soft and relaxing music during this time helps keep students focused and not talking to their neighbors.
2. Brain breaks are a great way to incorporate music in the classroom, I love all of the songs that GoNoodle has and the students always think they are fun. 
3. In Kindergarten I like singing songs during transitions. Each week we learn a new song in class, and it's worked really well in the past to tell students we are going to sing a song 2 times before they should be sitting down at the carpet. ]]> 2020-08-05 22:09:15 UTC https://padlet.com/ESDU1/dacha2dm7xqk6fdu/wish/670683354 https://padlet.com/ESDU1/dacha2dm7xqk6fdu/wish/670684270 The videos on youtube are so good, so I'll definitely incorporate those during:
lessons
brain breaks
instrumental during work time
But I'd love to incorporate music as often as possible if I'm allowed.

I would incorporate music into the classroom for brain breaks. I love GoNoodle and have seen it used several times and its a great opportunity for students to get the wiggles out
2. Transitions are another way to incorporate music, it gives students a time limit as well. Once they get familiar with the songs they know how much time they have
3. I really like the idea of using music to learn or introduce new topics in a fun and engaging way]]> 2020-08-05 22:15:39 UTC https://padlet.com/ESDU1/dacha2dm7xqk6fdu/wish/670687799 https://padlet.com/ESDU1/dacha2dm7xqk6fdu/wish/670689710 First, I would want to include some soft, calm, instrumental music into the silent warm up activities I do at the beginning of class. I also think I could use music to help teach, review, or have students present material. I also think as a science/math teacher, I think I could create experiments relating to wavelength/frequency or metering to help with fraction etc.]]> 2020-08-05 22:18:53 UTC https://padlet.com/ESDU1/dacha2dm7xqk6fdu/wish/670689710 https://padlet.com/ESDU1/dacha2dm7xqk6fdu/wish/670690750 I'm interested in teaching K-2nd so I think music could be incorporated in so many ways. 
1. during art (my high school art teachers always did that it was really relaxing and helped us work)
2. I think ending the day on a positive note with a fun song would be cool. 
3. I don't know if schoolhouse rock is too outdated but when I was in Elementary/Middle school we loved watching/singing along to those about ELA topics/math, etc.]]> 2020-08-05 22:20:37 UTC https://padlet.com/ESDU1/dacha2dm7xqk6fdu/wish/670690750 bupdike https://padlet.com/ESDU1/dacha2dm7xqk6fdu/wish/670691396 1) Soft and calm music when students enter the classroom and during entry tasks.

2) Smooth and upbeat music to transition between activities smoothly and quickly.

3) Cleanup music consistently for students to recognize what time it is.]]> 2020-08-05 22:21:35 UTC https://padlet.com/ESDU1/dacha2dm7xqk6fdu/wish/670691396 https://padlet.com/ESDU1/dacha2dm7xqk6fdu/wish/670691453 1. Utilizing songs that my students like (they love Imagine Dragons...), it will keep them engaged during transitions
2. A consistent "end of day" video (I chose the "Final Countdown") which will provide consistency in the packing up process. Typically the end of the day is the most  hectic in my class, and sometimes I give the students too much time to pack and other times not enough. Having a consistent song will keep the time constant, plus provide those sweet sweet rocking jams.
3. I will have students reflect on their feelings and creativity when listening to music while we work, versus having it be quiet. I want to see how they reflect on the things music makes them feel or help with.]]> 2020-08-05 22:21:40 UTC https://padlet.com/ESDU1/dacha2dm7xqk6fdu/wish/670691453 https://padlet.com/ESDU1/dacha2dm7xqk6fdu/wish/670691762 1. Utilizing songs for transition.
2. Creating a calming space for students that need it.
3. As an opportunity to connect movement to learning.]]> 2020-08-05 22:22:05 UTC https://padlet.com/ESDU1/dacha2dm7xqk6fdu/wish/670691762 https://padlet.com/ESDU1/dacha2dm7xqk6fdu/wish/670691797 1. Songs/music can be used to single a transition in activities, count down time, or to indicate what type of activity students should be doing (thinking, working, etc).
2. Music can be used as a brain break, either by itself, or with a short activity or sets of movements.
3. Music can be used as a lesson, study, or review tool to introduce or reinforce information.

2. I also use classical flamenco music for transitioning.
3. I use music to explore social issues like we shall overcome...etc.]]> 2020-08-05 22:22:51 UTC https://padlet.com/ESDU1/dacha2dm7xqk6fdu/wish/670692270 https://padlet.com/ESDU1/dacha2dm7xqk6fdu/wish/670692587 1)  Use music for in-between transitioning from one activity to the next.
2) Use music to start the day for students and to end the day for students.
3) To engage students as a tool for practicing or reinforcing difficult concepts or content students need to memorize.]]> 2020-08-05 22:23:22 UTC https://padlet.com/ESDU1/dacha2dm7xqk6fdu/wish/670692587 https://padlet.com/ESDU1/dacha2dm7xqk6fdu/wish/670693039 1. Use music for transitions from subjects or periods of the day.
2. Use soft classical music to create a relaxing classroom environment.
3. Use music to engage the students to cleanup their workspace and potentially the classroom before leaving for the day.]]> 2020-08-05 22:24:04 UTC https://padlet.com/ESDU1/dacha2dm7xqk6fdu/wish/670693039 https://padlet.com/ESDU1/dacha2dm7xqk6fdu/wish/670697107 I would integrate music in my class...
1. soft instrumental music during silent work time
2. adding songs to lessons to help kids remember (I still remember the Pump Your Blood song from when I was a phlebotomist). 
3. quick dance breaks for brain breaks]]> 2020-08-05 22:30:11 UTC https://padlet.com/ESDU1/dacha2dm7xqk6fdu/wish/670697107
