Today we will be talking about issues regarding the importance of music in the school environment.
We all know that listening
to music is a great pass-time..
but should it accompany
those in a
learning environment?
Retail stores play music in the background
to put customers in a relaxed
and positive mood
for the sake of
better business.
and elevators seem to play it
just to make time move faster,
so..
Should students
be allowed to
listen to music
during class time?
A common issue found in classrooms is the law against listening to music.
Here are some reasons why this topic deserves a positive view:
- 88% of students prefer to listen to music during class opposed to working in silence
- music to the brain is physical exercise to the body
Music genre and style also play
a crucial part in how
the brain may function.
- things like rock, and pop can put you in a good mood, and set you up for a joyful work period
- things more 'earthy' sounding like folk and country can put you in a more calm and focused mood to make sure that your work is getting done.
Everyone favours a genre, artist, or band; but no matter the style, it can help many cope with situations.
Music can create bonding opportunities,
and can make you see
that there are
other people with struggles just like you.
As you can see the
pros outweigh the cons..
All general audiences seem to support the idea of available music during independent work times, and students' input should be considered.
