Classrooms and Music

I listen to music for fun, for tranquility, for ideas, or simply to keep up to date with what's new. Recently, I have come to learn of how songs can be part of a lesson through the course Songs and Poetry for Primary Schools. In this course we learned of utilizing entertaining songs and poems to teach English. The course was indeed very informative and fun as we enjoyed ourselves creating music and songs as one of the assignments.

This tak of audio editing , I see it as a sequal to the one. As teachers, I believe, there are times when we realize that we can't use an entire song for a lesson's purpose, thus this is where learning on manipulating the songs will be handy. It will prove much better when we actually toss away the parts that we do not need, increase the volume at the parts we wish to reinforce, even add on with parts from other songs.

Now, all that is definetely possible with the audio editing skills. This time we were not asked to produce eeducational songs, but we were given the freedom of editing any song. I feel that this actually helped us look this task in a wider scope, than having it narrowed down to educational scope alone. Moreover, this will give us an opportunity to explore and experiment on the use of audio editing before we could apply it for educational puposes.

Though tiring, it was a useful task.
