Towards musicalising classroom instruction: Quotes on music and ABCs for non-music use of music

QUOTES ON SIGNIFICANCE OF MUSIC

  • Music creates order out of chaos: for rhythm imposes unanimity upon the divergent, melody imposes continuity upon the disjointed, and harmony imposes compatibility upon the incongruous.  ~Yehudi Menuhin

  • Research shows that at-least some musical education has a positive impact on social and cognitive development of children. And these effects are long lasting – better hearing, better motor skills, improved memory, better verbal and literacy skills. ~ Alan Harvey

  • The heart of a music is its rhythm. The heart of rhythm section music is the rhythm. ~Wynton Marsalis

  • The language of music is common to all generations and nations; it is understood by everybody, since it is understood with the heart. ~ Gioacchino Rossini

  • The world is in great need of more music education. When students play music, it allows a part of their artistic mind to express itself, which is very important in helping to balance a child intellectually, spiritually, and emotionally.  ~ Paul Reed Smith

ABCS OF NON-MUSIC USE OF MUSIC

A: Adapting classroom activities by focusing on musical elements such as pitch and rhythm as important tools for cognitive development through prescribed curriculum or text

B: Bringing in speech prosody, phonological awareness, micro-expressions of feelings and emotions through gestures and action singing as mediums of presenting lessons

C: Competence building of teachers and students to musicalize text of various disciplines through language art elements and pattern poetry as aptness in non-music use of music for cognitive (language processing skills) and non-cognitive (attentiveness, long-term memory) development of students

D: Devices like rap lyrics, crooning of micro-poems, recitation of syllabic poems, creation and rendering of pattern poems

E: Experimentation and evolution by teachers through lesson studies and jam sessions of students on text musicalization with review can be good ways to institutionalise teaching to enhance musical intelligence
