The benefits of music in education have been scientifically proven. Today, we will talk about the practical ways to use this research to create a bigger impact in your classroom.
Ricky from Amplify Music Education joins us and talks us through all the ways Music is beneficial to the students sitting in your classroom as well as some practical ways we can implement it.
We talk about:
- How does prior experience in Music (for the teacher) impact teaching and learning in the classroom?
- What is the importance of teaching Music in the primary classroom?
- How can a mainstream teacher use Music in their classrooms outside of ‘music lessons’?
- Some practical ways to implement more Music in your classroom.
- A deep dive into the music platform Ricky and his team have created at Amplify Music Education.
Ricky’s passion and energy for music is contagious! We hope you love this episode as much as we loved recording it.

Rainbows ahead,
