** Why Music? **
 * Music has the ability to help retain information for long periods of time
 * For example: The Alphabet learned to the melody of "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star"


 * Because songs are language based, you might need to provide cues to meaning, such as picture, pantomine, or gestures
 * Example: Rebus

** HICKORY DICKORY DOCK **

Hickory Dickory Dock, The mouse ran up the clock, The clock struck one 1, and down  he run, Hickory Dickory Dock!


 * Music can be integrated into any subject

[]
 * Even if you are uncomfortable with singing, there are many options from playing a CD to pulling up a video from youtube
 * Everyone can participate at some level, regardless of English language proficiency
 * Ex: SDAIE lesson using music
