Music to make you feel good
These playlists are produced by Kidenza (children's orchestra) and include 20 well known pieces which you may use as ambience or as a creative inspiration. Look out for the BBC Teach videos as they have really excellent teaching support.
Researchers claim (Gold et al., 2013) that listening to music can also help you learn and recall information more efficiently. Interestingly, the study showed that it depends on the degree to which you like the music.
Kidenza musicians here talk about their favourite classical pieces which you will find in the playlists above. Use these to encourage discussions in your classroom.
