Abstract
This research explores the integration of music into educational settings to enhance the learning experience and make lessons more interactive. The study aims to illustrate how music can be effectively utilized in classrooms to engage students and improve their academic performance. Extensive research indicates that music positively impacts learners by enhancing brain development and creativity. It helps students stay focused and activates their brains, making the learning process more efficient. Studies have shown that music improves comprehension and memory retention across all age groups, from children to the elderly. Interactive methods such as Total Physical Response (TPR) and mnemonics benefit significantly from the inclusion of music. Music-related activities in classrooms are particularly beneficial for younger learners, aiding in the development of emotional, language, social, cognitive, and motor skills. Music’s ability to remind, cheer, relax, and entertain can reduce stress and exhaustion during the learning process. Integrating music into lessons offers numerous benefits.
