As I finish up my final LBS1 endorsement class (my masters is nearly complete! Hooray!!)
I have turned to music for inspiration.
I find that I get WAY more done when there is a compelling melody. I'm especially fond of string quartets, movie soundtracks and piano solos.
Yes, when I'm in my car, I screech along with all the latest pop hits, but nothing helps me get my homework done like my "classical for studying radio" on Pandora.
What is it about my brain that it needs so much input to be productive? Maybe the tapping of the keyboard (especially the backspace key) isn't enough. The music helps me keep my thoughts in order. Maybe the teacher who told me that music = math was right?
If you have any musical suggestions for me, I'd appreciate them! I'll be in classes until June. My action research project is going to need an inspiring soundtrack for sure!!
I found myself enjoying this so much. From the "screech" of your car voice to the rhythm of your typing (even if the chorus is the backspace clatter) adds a musical quality to this post even! Way to go!
ReplyDeleteI am like you. I listen to classical or jazz music when I'm doing lesson plans. Some suggestions would be: Dave Brubeck, Vince Guaraldi, the Piano Guys, the Fantasia soundtrack for Beethoven's Pastoral Symphony, Gershwin, Goldberg Variations by Bach, Yo-Yo Ma. But those are just a few...if not a few too many.
ReplyDeleteI don't really like background music. But I keep thinking I need to play something in my reading class. I think it might "soothe the savage beasts!"
