Is it appropiate for students to listen to music in the classroom? Why or why not?

I think I can safely say that we know from personal experience that musicaffects our bodies and our minds. Listening to music relaxes us, energizes us, comfort us, help us. I think I can also safely say that we know the music we like to listento at any given time varies from person to person and situation to situation. Sometimes I like to listen Rock, sometimes I like to listen Pop and other times want tolisten Jazz. It all depends on the situation, how I’m feeling and what I’m doing.

Some research supports that music facilitates learning, especially the learningof students who manifest the ADHD type symptoms of having difficulty staying focused on the task at hand, of being easily distracted, of fidgeting excessively, orhaving to get up frequently.An article by Daniel Reitz and Dr. Partricia Chiodo (May 4, 2006). They cites studies done by F. F. Cripe (1986) , L. Morton, J. Keshner and L.Seigel 1990) that conclude that music has a beneficial effect on students.

In closing, given the limited amount of scientific about the benefits of listening tomusic in the classroom ,I propose that until more research is done and either proves or disproves that music facilitates learning, let’s let students decide if musichelps them learn or not. They know. They can tell you. Just ask. If they think it does, then let’s encourage them to listen to music while working. If they think musicdoesn’t, then let’s let them pass on listening to music. We’re always looking for ways to motivate student, to engage students so if music is the way let’s go for it.
