Consistent exposure to music, like learning to play a musical instrument, or taking voice lessons, strengthens a particular set of academic and social-emotional skills that are essential to learning. In ways that are unmatched by other pursuits, like athletics for instance, learning music powerfully reinforces language skills, builds and improves reading ability, and strengthens memory and attention, according to the latest research on the cognitive neuroscience of music.

I am a big fan of music in the history classroom and I have created a number of Spotify Playlists for this purpose. Often this is merely to help create a calm and purposeful working atmosphere, when a bit of Chopin or Debussy sets the tone perfectly. Occasionally it's even possible to have calming instrumental music directly related to the topic in question: for example, Elgar's Cello Concerto in E Minor, which was inspired by the composer watching British troop ships heading off to France in 1914.

The bottom line is that U of F wants you to think about being a music educator. I really focused on the research about how music helps with language skills. |

I’m sure most of you are doing the same thing I’m doing right now. Spending time with family and friends, watching football, catching up on that book you’ve been dying to read, eating too much Chex Mix, and enjoying the occasional nap. But if you need a break from all of the holiday cheer, we’ve got you covered. Between now… Via Cyndi Danner-Kuhn, Jim Lerman, Dean J. Fusto

I absolutely agree. I always feel much better when I listen to or create music. I'm glad now there's scientific proof.

1. PLAN THE BUDGET To organize music entertainment shows
you must first start with budgeting your show. Always go with a realistic budget and don’t go too much overboard with it as the audience watches it for entertainment not for luxurious sets. Keep the budget that covers all the expenses like talent buying, infrastructure, venue booking, etc. 2. TALENT BUYING Select the artists that set your budget and that your audience will like to watch. And it must be based on the show that you are organizing. This is the most important thing that you should focus on while organizing the music entertainment show. As people watch it for the music and if you have the best artists, it will attract the most audience. Your show will then be a hit once you get the talents you needed. 3. SELECT A SUITABLE VENUE See which venue is suitable for your target audience and book it then only. Also, see if it has all the space to fit in the audience. And make sure you book it before hand prior it gets booked by someone else. 4. APPLY FOR PERMITS AND INSURANCE After you get your venue booked make sure you apply for the permits and insurance. Those include for alcohol, food, drinks, music, and also for the event. Apply for insurance so that in case something unfortunate happens you will have something to cover up your expenses for the show. 5. IDENTIFY WHAT EQUIPMENT IS NEEDED As it is a music entertainment show, you must have all the equipment’s of music that will be needed by the artists while the performance. Confirm it with your music artists that if everything is available. So that show can run comfortably and to avoid the mishaps.
