I am a musician as well as a teacher, so integrating music with science just seemed like a natural progression. One of the most important benefits of using music in my classroom is music’s ability to aid in the retention and recall of information. In my classroom, a musically rich environment generates student involvement, increases learning, promotes memorization of concepts, and encourages creativity, which provides for a positive learning experience. Simply stated, my songs promote learning, practice, and recall. I am currently a 6th grade science teacher at Franklin Avenue Middle School (FAMS) in Franklin Lakes.
