 | Episode Six is a little different from the last ones. In this episode I attempt to convince teachers to use music in a way that is counterintuitive to conventional thinking. Many of us have played music in our classroom for years. For me, it began with cassette tapes, playing those Mozart Makes You Smarter recordings that were supposed to sync with human heart rates and help students focus during tests. But here, I want you to consider using music in just the opposite fashion. What if your students need help in focusing on a task? Would you gain anything by playing music with lyrics and a heavy beat to distract your class on purpose? What if I challenged you to try it out anyway? In this episode, I'll lay out a possibility that might just work if placed in the right hands - yours. |
