Music, Movement, and Literacy
Mark Weakland
Research Rationale
Past and present studies show…
4
… educational research shows that movement and music can positively effect memory and learning …
5
Upon integration of the arts into major subjects in fourteen New York elementary an secondary public schools, student behavior improved strikingly in such areas as taking risks, cooperating, solving problems, and being prepared.
6
Music and language are inseparably linked as a single system in the brain
…nonverbal modalities presented in music / arts education help students with skills used in reading, writing and math…
7
Emotions
• Entry point for learning
• Entry point for memory
Why Engage Emotions?• Medial brain (the limbic system)
is closely linked to memory encoding and retrieval
• More pathways reach from the limbic system to the cerebral cortex than vice-versa
• The reticular activating system (filter) can be by-passed by emotions
9
Social Nature of Students
• Music and drama allow
for cooperative groupings• Drama activities speak to
students’ natural inclination to talk and socialize
• Drama activities don’t control – they channel!
10
Music, movement, and drama can help to channel students with high activity levels
They allow for movement that is educational
Fun = engaging = fewer behavior problems!

Little Animals, Mark Weakland
The Grand Old Duke of YorkOh, the grand old Duke of York,
He had ten thousand men
And he marched them up to the top of the hill,
And he marched them down again.
When they were up, they were up,
When they were down, they were down,
And when they were only half way up,
They were neither up nor down.
