Music, Culture, and Early Child Development

In this video, Roger Brown speaks of the importance of music as a form of expression. He first explained that music "helps embed memory into people." This is so useful in the classroom. When teachers can find ways to help their students learn in a fun way, it is so much more beneficial. Brown also speaks of the importance parents singing to their children, even if they are amateurs. This holds true with teachers as well because music is an important part of how children grow and develop. Music enables students to express themselves when they have no other way by humming, singing, and even making up their own songs. Music is a powerful tool that should be utilized in the classroom to aid in learning and making classwork more enjoyable for the students.
