Teachers Instructions:
The Song Book is made to be a complementary material for all classes. I recommend using
it once a month at least with your students, so you can always implement a fun activity
during your lessons.
The songs are arranged by levels in order: B1 TO B2.
There are at least three activities per song, all with “filling the blanks”, but they vary ac-
cording to each song and its specific theme.
This book is in English only. Enjoy it!

Music changes the routine in the classroom. It offers resources for teachers to develop the
4 skills with students: listening, speaking, reading and writing.
Learning English using music exposes students to a safe and non-threatening environ-
ment of an authentic language, who normally feel a certain tension when exposed to a
foreign language.
In addition to some studies that demonstrate that music is the largest source of English
outside the classroom, along with games, series and films, and increases exposure to au-
thentic language in a fun way that encourages students’ learning.
. Music is part of our students’ daily lives. They often hear them outside the classroom.
. There is a variety of vocabulary, content, grammatical points, themes and cultural aspects
that can be addressed in a single song.
. We can develop students’ critical sense.
. The songs always contain authentic language. There are songs that contain inappropriate
words
and content. However, in this book, all the songs were carefully selected so that you don’t
waste time choosing from the thousands of songs.
. We can use a song as ‘warm up’, as the main theme of the lesson or as an assessment
and verification of student learning.
. Exposure to a variety of accents other than English and, through music from different
regional backgrounds, being presented to different cultures.
. We can explore current situations, as they portray the current world.
. And music relaxes, entertains and teaches!

But I ain’t done much healing

Closer, older, there are some comparative words in this song. For short nouns, we just add
