Last year, we blogged about the importance of music in education, and offered some ideas for using it to enhance your classroom or home. March is Music in Our Schools Month, sponsored by MENC (The National Association for Music Education). This year’s theme is “Music Lasts a Lifetime.”
Been looking for a way to work music into your lesson plans? This is your perfect opportunity! You’ll be amazed at the impact music has on children, and the benefits for all ages. Here are some excellent places to get started:
MENC’s site for Music in Our Schools Month – This is the go-to resource for using music in the classroom. Packed with information, ideas, and activities, this site will help you determine how best to handle your music-based lessons.
Need an activity to get your students thinking musically? Try this free download! You will need both the activity pages and the two audio tracks to complete the exercise.
Looking for more in-depth resources, lesson plans, and activities? Check out Lorenz Educational Press’s complete library of music materials for the classroom. It doesn’t matter if you’re a music teacher or not – you’ll find something that you can use!
Here’s something you may not be aware of – our parent company, the Lorenz Corporation, has been publishing music for 120 years. Do you have any students that sing or play instruments? Are you a music teacher looking for specific materials? Check out their website for more information and a ton of music products.
No matter how you go about it, March is a great time to bring music into your classroom or home. Your students will love it, and you’ll love what it does for them. How do you plan on celebrating Music in Our Schools Month? Share your ideas and stories in the comments section below!
