1. I use music in my life when I am driving so I don't get bored and I can sing out loud. I use music when I am stressed to calm me down. I also use music when I fall asleep at night.

2. As a child I loved learning new songs and playing CD's over and over again and singing in my bedroom pretending I was that certain artist.

3. I have never observed children at musical play.

4. I feel like teaching a child to express their voice singing while they learn would be easier then teaching students to play a certain instrument.

5. I feel all children should be able to read notes and know certain beats of songs. I also feel they should gain confidence if they are very musically gifted to express themselves, because now days kids feel they are being judged so they shy away from being themselves.

6. Yes I have observed a classroom using music. In high school I helped out in the preschool room and they always sang songs about the days of the week, their numbers, and of course their ABC's.

7. I think music can definitely be integrated into the elementary classroom because it helps kids retain their knowledge and they have more fun doing it. Singing songs about certain stuff they are learning in their class subjects is always good to bring music into the classroom.

8. Music can be used as an interdisciplinary tool in the classroom by combining one subject with music. For example, if they are doing a math lesson and you know a good song for them to remember a mathematical formula they would be using music as an interdisciplinary tool by combing two things together to learn a certain lesson.
