In the Classroom

Take advantage of the many book suggestions and activity ideas to include music in any content area. Not only does it encourage music appreciation, but it also provides options to engage students using music, the universal language. Encourage students learning to play instruments to share their skills with their peers to support their musical endeavors and ideas for classmates on becoming involved with music.
