Musical Warm-ups

Mindful music choices can enhance any learning experience. Both teachers and students should be involved in those choices and creating a class playlist is a great activity to start off the year or semester for any age group. Music can fully engage students in language learning classes and help set the mood to mindfully prepare to start class, focus on work during class, relax, and transition out of class. A song can act as the guest speaker to set the stage for many questions and thoughtful discussion.
