A Music Center

A music center includes instruments, music books, CD and tape players, and CD’s and tapes representing a wide range of musical styles, including music from different cultures. When space is limited, equipment and supplies can be stored in a closet or wheeled shelving unit and used in the large-group activity area. This area encourages children to use their imaginations as they explore and express their feelings through singing, dancing, listening to, and creating music.

Music activities also help children develop small and large muscle coordination, can be used to redirect students to new activities, release tension, improve memory, enhance learning.... Ideas for using music in the classroom are endless.
