I first heard of using music in classroom from Chris Uggen, but that didn’t surprise me, because he wishes he was a rock star ;) But, turns out that many great teachers are using this method to pull their students in and help them engage with the topic in a fun way. I guess I’m convinced! We wanted to repost two nice descriptions of this method:
1. one from Sociology Source
2. and the other from The Sociological Cinema.
Check ’em out!
I know it’s bad….but I can’t resist: ROCK ON!

Ah, so *that's* why my undergrads were giggling about Teaching TSP before class. But what's this about *wishing* to be a rock star? "Rock star" is more state of mind than occupation ... http://www.soc.umn.edu/~uggen/rockstar.jpg
