Music in the Classroom Flipchart

Flipchart with two pages of hyperlinks to music to play in class to aid teaching the music National Curriculum at KS1 and KS2 and improve concentration, behaviour and learning.

Page 1. Nine links to a wide range of musical genres to teach the KS1 and KS2 National Curriculum Objective: experience a wide range of high-quality live and recorded music. These can be played in the background when children are coming into class/working or listened to actively and discussed using the questions on the slide.

Page 2. Nine links to music to play in the background to create an atmosphere in class (calm, energise and concentrate). Playing music in the classroom has been shown to have a positive impact on learning and behaviour. Use the links to calm children down as they come in from play; enthuse them after a long afternoon or encourage concentration on a writing task.
