 Engaging students is one of the most challenging—and rewarding—aspects of teaching music. In an era where technology grants instant access to information, capturing and holding students' attention is more challenging than ever. I've found success in merging learning with fun through interactive games that reinforce the musical concepts we cover in class. Here are five musical games that have proven effective in my classroom:
 In my early days as a student, I always found that learning songs helped me build my vocabulary. Do you remember the songs that we learned to be able to learn the alphabet or even the days of the week? Even though learning a new language can be challenging, by adding music to the mix can make the process more enjoyable and effective. In this blog, we'll break down the straightforward ways in which music enhances language learning.
 In the fast-paced world of education, the rise of self-paced courses is transforming the learning landscape. These courses provide learners with the invaluable flexibility to tailor their educational journey to their own schedule and pace. In this blog, we'll explore the benefits and unique advantages of self-paced courses, shedding light on how they empower individuals to take control of their learning experience.
 During the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, in-person teaching was permanently altered. Despite much disapproval among students and teachers, education was forced to transition online. However, as cases decreased, in-person education increased, and distance learning was eventually embraced – and often favored.
 Childhood stands as a pivotal phase in life, championed by numerous experts in psychology, education, and child development for its paramount significance. This formative period leaves an indelible imprint on cognitive, social, and emotional growth, nurturing the roots of perpetual learning and self-assurance. During infancy, the brain's neuroplasticity aids rapid language acquisition, forming connections and absorbing linguistic patterns, as highlighted by Mia Nacamulli.
 Are you wanting to find ways to introduce your kids to European Portuguese through song? Learning songs in a different language is a great way to gently introduce the language to your children. There are a variety of benefits - it can help them improve their listening skills and pronunciation, and learn vocabulary and sentence structures. There’s also a 2018 study from MIT that stated that music can be “beneficial in improving language skills, and possibly more beneficial, than offering children extra reading lessons.” To gently introduce European Portuguese to your learner, check out these songs!
 Living in a digital world with ever-changing technology, the education system looks – and feels – very different from how students learned 20 years ago. From new devices to increased expenses, this can be an overwhelming change for parents. Aside from this, online school has become a mainstream form of education since the height of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. With this abundance of educational resources and countless new options for learning, where do you even begin? That’s where we come in.
 While growing up in Portugal, my favorite TV program was Cartoon Network. I woke up early on Saturdays to watch the Power Puff Girls, Samurai Jack, and Foster’s Home for Imaginary Friends… In English. With no subtitles.
I and many other people my age were exposed to English early on, which allowed us to start getting used to the language while relatively young. This, allied with the fact that it’s uncommon to dub films in Portugal, made learning English a lot easier for a lot of people. While there aren’t a lot of widely available cartoons made in Portugal, there’s a wide variety of dubbed cartoons. In this article, we’ll cover cartoons for all ages.  Picture this: you have a test coming up. You go to the library or a café to study. You get there early, get your best markers out (the pastel ones), and open your book. There’s so much to do, you don’t even know where to start. So, you read and underline a bit, then get distracted, then stop working, and put off studying, ending up pulling an all-nighter before your assessment to prepare. Does this sound familiar?
Studying can feel like a dreadful chore to many. But it doesn’t have to be. So, let’s look into how to study effectively. |
