Draft

This piece should include some theory, models and examples about teaching various subjects through music.

## Use cases[edit | edit source]

Using music as medium seems to be fairly popular in language education but also in some religious cultures. I also have seen examples of science education (e.g. They Might Be Giants – teaching science through music) and social issues/civic education.

From the Pilgrims TMV - Teaching through Music and Visual Art.pdf Teaching Through Music And Visual Art Course also here (retrieved 15:14, 21 October 2009 (UTC)):

* Using art as a stimulus for task based learning and integrated skills teaching
* Putting life into course book exercises and filling in the gaps often missing in the course book content
* Using music in as an aid to classroom management and for working with different levels of energy throughout the day.
* Ways of using the arts to enable more effective learning with âdifficultâ or unmotivated students.
