Big Idea: Getting students to participate in music-making
Inquiry Question: How can student agency be instilled by music?
Overview: Students participate in music-making while adding another level of engagement. Music helps students recall basic multiplication facts, as well as a way to teach new vocabulary. Students can make math connections by talking about the music's counting and rhythm patterns as well.
Manifesto Inclusion:
As one of Howard Gardner's major intelligence areas, music is valuable for its own sake as well as for what it can add to a student academically. We want to be inclusive to students and give students the opportunity to show their forte in the musical arts.
