Exploring the Role of Music in Secondary English and History

Classrooms through Personal Practice Theory by Christian Z. Georing
and Bradley J. Burenheide published in the SRATE journal in the
Summer of 2010 describes how music can be implemented into the
classroom to help children learn. The article states that in order to
understand how to use music in an educational manner, each teacher
must first analyze their own teaching strategies - they call this
personal practice theory. Through personal practice theory, each
teacher considers their own beliefs, how they implement those beliefs
in the classroom, and how their students learn from this. At the
National Teachers Hall of Fame conference, they had the teachers
answer those questions, and the teachers commonly answered that
they wanted their students to be actively involved and connected in
discussions. The teachers agreed that one of the best ways to do this is
through the use of music.

The teachers found that music has enhanced their students

understanding of characters and settings, which has allowed for better
analysis. It also gave the students an outlet to channel their inner
thoughts and helped with introducing new topics. Music has allowed
students to better understand different time periods, as music
advances with the times. The article offers ways in which a teacher
can introduce music into their classrooms. These ranged from
students writing about events in their lives and putting music with it to
arranging a song to play at the beginning of class and allowing
students to guess how it would relate to the lesson of the day. Overall,
the teachers at this conference agreed that implementing music into
the classroom benefits the students learning in a great way.
