This book was released on 2014-12-10 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Music therapy has been researched and found to have a calming relaxing effect on students who fear large crowds, especially in classrooms. Music therapy has been proven to have a calming effect on those students who display signs of distress, or who have been diagnosed with psychological or physiological disorders. Some students show stress when taking tests. Research has proven that music significantly reduces stressful behaviors in these students. Background music has proven to have a positive effect on students who are assigned to inclusion classes. Music has been used as an effective intervention for maintaining and improving active involvement, social, emotional and cognitive skills. Music therapy has had positive effects on these students who deal with psychological stressors or physiological complications. Thus, it has been researched and proven that students who receive music therapy over a long period of time have a success rate that is higher than those students who receive music therapy over a shorter period. Long-term music therapy indicates that music sessions were most effective in increasing self-control, relaxation and comfort levels inside the classroom, allowing more time for teaching.

Download or read book Teachers Perceptions on the Use of Background Music in Classrooms written by Grainne Sheehan and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The benefits of background music use have long been studied. The results in general education settings have been equivocal but the benefits for students with special education needs cannot be denied. According to research, background music can have a positive effect on students with learning disabilities, students with ADHD, students with emotional disturbance, and also students with autism. In a general education classroom, music can be used to improve mood and result in an increase in academic achievement. The purpose of this research was to determine the extent to which background music is being used in general education classrooms while also discovering why teachers use background music. Many teachers are using music in their classrooms with the benefits, as described by the teachers, being increased task attendance, better focus, and happier, more positive environments. However, most teachers are not aware of the research involving music so it can be assumed that their use of background music is primarily because of the positive effects that they perceive. More importantly, teachers indicated that they would be willing to increase their background music use if lists were compiled for them for different beneficial effects. In the future, background music could be used as a tool to benefit all students in an inclusive classroom.

Download or read book Music Education for Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder written by Sheila J. Scott and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2017-01-02 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Music Education for Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder: A Resource for Teachers provides foundational information about autism spectrum disorder and strategies for engaging students with ASD in music-based activities such as singing, listening, moving, and playing instruments. This practical resource supplies invaluable frameworks for teachers who work with early-years students. The book first provides readers with background information about ASD and how students with this condition manage their behaviors in school environments. It then progresses to provide teachers with information about planning music-based instruction for students on the spectrum. In the book's midsection, readers learn how students with ASD perceive, remember, and articulate pitch perception. Following chapters present a series of practical ideas for engaging students with ASD though songs and singing and concentrate on skills in music listening, most notably on activities that motivate students with ASD to interact with others through joint attention. Challenges that individuals with ASD experience in motor processing are examined, including difficulties with gait and coordination, motor planning, object control, and imitation. This is followed by practical teaching suggestions for engaging students with activities in which movement is mediated through sound (e.g., drum beats) and music. Closing chapters introduce non-pitched percussion instruments along with activities in which children engage in multisensory experiences by playing instruments--musical activities described in preceding chapters are combined with stories and drama to create musical narratives. Music Education for Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder is accompanied by a companion website that supplies helpful supplemental materials including audio of songs notated in the book for easy access.

This book was released on 2004 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this research was to examine mainstreamed students with disabilities in a high school music education environment. The research design was descriptive and analytical, studying three observable events: musical, verbal, and behavioral. Four students completed the study and were videotaped in three class sessions. The researcher was also the teacher throughout the study and was videotaped simultaneously with each student. Video tapes were analyzed, and musical, verbal, and behavioral events were documented. The events were categorized and recorded for every ten second time unit of a class or lesson. Data analysis indicated that the high school students with disabilities, who participated in this study, presented classroom behaviors that were conducive to their membership in a music education program at the high school level. Analysis of the data collected from the teacher's videotapes indicates behaviors that were conducive to the participation of students with disabilities in their classes. Analysis of the teacher video tapes suggests that music educators who instruct their class using a variety of techniques including standing in close proximity to the students may be helping the students with disabilities attend to the teacher, thus facilitating their participation in the class activities.
