A quiet classroom means students are learning.
A student who forgot to take her headphones out is willfully defying you.
(Insert musical genre) has no value.
That student fell asleep because he’s narcissistic and unreachable.
Have you ever, in your life, believed this?
![Page 3: The Sound of the Common Core](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070312/553b73a85503463a458b4712/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Students are moving
Everyone laughs at a joke
Pairs and/or groups discuss something
You switch from silence to media
When a classroom breathes

From College and Career Readiness Anchor Standards for
Speaking and Listening:
New technologies have broadened and expanded the role that speaking and listening play in acquiring and sharing knowledge and have tightened the link
to other forms of communication. The Internet has accelerated the speed at which connections between speaking, listening, reading, and writing can be made, requiring that students be ready to use these modalities nearly simultaneously. Technology itself is changing quickly, creating a new urgency for students to be adaptable in response to change.

Musical Intelligence
• Howard Gardner in Frames of Mind: The Theory of Multiple Intelligences (Basic Books, 1993) incorporated musical intelligence as one of the 8 basic intelligences.
• Paquette & Rieg (2008) note that music has the power to make a classroom one in which a child can “thrive emotionally, socially, and academically.”

The Mozart Effect
Bloor (2009) references “The Mozart Effect” in his study on London classrooms. He notes and supports prior studies that demonstrate a correlation between the playing of Mozart and improved test scores in both math and reading.

“Music” in many classrooms, if used, consists of this

Spotify to Support a Lesson/Unit
• To support the mood of our units, each day music is streamed that supports the unit.
• The music plays softly while they write, reflect, pair-share, etc. …
• Sometimes the music itself becomes a lesson
– In this case, they wrote a reflective piece relating Taiko drumming to the Shinto belief system based only on hearing the music

Strategy: Get In and Get Out• Playing a quick ≤ 4 min
clip can work wonders for appealing to the visual learners in your classroom.
• We call this “Get In and Get Out”– No need to play an
entire documentary
1. Students watched this video in class2. They pair-shared their observations3. We discussed as a group4. Students wrote a reflective paragraph connecting the
video to our curriculum5. We concluded by reading our paragraphs out loud to
our table partners.

PandoraNote: There will be obstacles to all this.
1. Too many people still believe a quiet classroom is a good classroom.
2. Many districts still block access to YouTube and music websites.
