WHAT IS MÚSICA MIÉRCOLES?

⭐️ Música miércoles (music Wednesday) is starting class by watching a music video (or lyrics video for those with inappropriate videos) of a current or classic song in Spanish and then answering questions or talking about it in Spanish. 

WHY DO MÚSICA MIÉRCOLES?

⭐️ In my first year of teaching, one of my biggest successes was música miércoles. Because of this tradition, many students’ favorite day of the week became Wednesday. Week after week students would enter saying “Yeah, we get to listen to music today!” “Whooo, música miércoles!” I think this is because many students enjoy listening to music, and think they get to “waste” class time doing so. What they do not realize is this “waste” has the following benefits for them.

BENEFITS OF MÚSICA MIÉRCOLES

• Listening to the Spanish language through song
• Exposing them to new genres and artists of Spanish speaking music
• Learning the geography of where the artists are from
• Hearing different accents and slang from various parts of the world
• Getting catchy music stuck in their head 
• Cultivating an interest in new music, enough to start their own Spanish Pandora station at home
• Bringing up cultural similarities and differences
• Making learning Spanish fun
• Having students excited to come to Spanish class
