Musical lectures

"Schoolhouse Rock" made such an impression upon me growing up that I have created my own songs that I incorporate into my lectures. I think I will also add a little "mood" music for our reviews and play it again before the test to see how that increases their retention and ability to recall the information.

I recognize the value of music in the classroom but as we have learned familiar music can distract students as there might be memories attached and music with no words avoids students getting caught up in trying to understand what the song migjht be about.
great idea to start with 'mood' music them pick up the tempo at the end of the class.

Kim,
yes, music can be a great aid in remembering & storing away key concepts.
