Garageband in the Classroom |
 |
Researchers have discovered that using different types of music in your classroom will not only affect the mood but will also increase their cognitive ability. In a 20-year study, researchers at The National Academy for Child Development discovered playing Baroque style music increases student’s learning potential. Music can be used to block ambient noises such as florescent lights and chatter in the hall. In this lesson we are going to look at editing music so that as a teacher you are able to develop a classroom soundtrack that will foster intellectual growth.
