Music Therapy in Education
I have never really heard of Music Therapy before I watched the video. Although, I think it is a very beneficial way of reaching out to kids in a fun, learning, and healing approach. I think it would remarkably help students with literacy and development of social skills. Using music therapy, students would have to verbalize and vocalize more which would help their confidence of social skills and their reading ability could improve. To make sure it stays a learning experience, through Music Therapy using age appropriate lessons in the music helps students stay on task with their developmental standards. Music Therapy is also a very positive association with students that have specific needs. With its positive outcome on the children they really strive and are willing to learn through a fun technique.

I had never heard of Music Therapy before the video either! I agree that it is definitely beneficial for all students because it helps them in so many different areas academically. I like that you said that it needs to maintain a learning experience so the students are actually benefiting from its use.
ReplyDeleteI am with both of you, I had never heard of Music Therapy until I read the article and watched the video! I agree with you that it is very beneficial with social skills and like the said in the video, I think that it is a great way to keep children that are in and out of the hospital connected with their learning. After reading and watching about it, I think that Music Therapy would be a great job!
