I love music and I believ that music teachers, comforts and motivates.

Playing music while i do work or chores is helpful to keep me focused and alert. Playing music in the classroom to dance, move, learn a concept and learn new vocabulary has always brought up great learning opportunities. There is better communication, language, and social development.
