Help Students Learn, Create, and Connect Through Music
Students learn best when they feel ready to participate, engaged in the learning process, and connected to the music they are experiencing. The Connected Music Room Toolkit helps music educators create meaningful musical experiences that support musicianship, creativity, collaboration, and lifelong engagement with music.
A Unique Perspective: Music Education Meets Music Therapy
Developed through the lens of both a board-certified music therapist and former elementary music educator, this toolkit bridges the connection between musicianship, artistry, social-emotional learning, and student engagement.
Rather than treating these as separate goals, the framework demonstrates how they naturally develop together through meaningful musical experiences. Students strengthen musical skills while also building confidence, creativity, communication, collaboration, persistence, and problem-solving skills that extend beyond the music classroom.
Use Music to Support Learning and Engagement
Music classrooms already contain many of the tools students need to focus, participate, create, connect, and learn. Through rhythm, movement, predictable structure, creative engagement, and reflection, teachers can use musical experiences to help students access the part of the brain responsible for focus, flexibility, problem-solving, and learning.
At the same time, students develop habits and experiences that can help foster a lifelong relationship with music and the arts.
Support Student Growth Without Overhauling Your Curriculum
This is not a new curriculum and it is not asking teachers to become therapists.
Instead, the Connected Music Room Toolkit provides practical frameworks, planning tools, lesson structures, and classroom resources that build on the work you are already doing. The goal is to help organize and strengthen existing musical experiences while creating smoother transitions, stronger classroom routines, meaningful opportunities for creative engagement, and more sustainable teaching practices.
