I start my inquiry-based physics class with a song called "Think"
sung
by Judy Mowatt (who sang with Bob Marley). I start units on E&M
with
"Electric Boogie" sung by another reggae singer. When I get in
my car
to go home tonight I'll put on a station with hip-hop. I can't
imagine doing aerobics or dancing to classical music. I listen
to
some kinds of music for the words. There are even some rap songs
that
make very strong social and political statments that should be
heard.
Music reaches into our hearts and souls, not just our minds, and
different beats move different people in different ways. Its all
music.
Music or sports or anything else cannot make you dumb. It
depends how
you use it. It depends on what you use it for...
