Diversity In Education

In this article it discusses many different musical products created to increase the learning ability of children with disabilities. It explains that using rock and rap can help to make learning more fun for the students and help them to keep focus. The article states that, “Rap music is great for teach rhyming words and basic literacy skills.” I honestly agree, not even only for students with learning disabilities but also the everyday average student. I myself use music to help with my memorization skills, if there is a term I cannot seem to remember I make up a tune that will be used as a memory aid. That is what this article is implying for teachers in a classroom to do, incorporate different musical techniques to help the student become
