Abstract

As a child, music was always a part of my life, and I believe this immersion has greatly impacted how I view music’s role in the world of education. I’ve always wanted to be a teacher, but it wasn’t until I started courses at the University of Northern Iowa that I really decided to focus on early childhood and social emotional learning. My desire to teach, combined with my passion for all things music, led to my decision to focus on how music integration can be a useful tool in every classroom. Specifically I want to focus the research and the results of this paper on creating a useful tool for educators to use in their classrooms, laid out in a way that allows educators of all age groups and content areas, to implement these ideas. To do this I will be reviewing the literature that exemplifies what benefits music integration provides. My original contribution is pulling themes from the research to create a tool for teachers to use in their classrooms. These tools are a combination of learning standards from the Iowa Core and activities that integrate music (Iowa Department of Education Academic Standards).
