Many of the skills involved in literacy can also be found in music, and music education helps students’ literacy development. Literacy is larger than just reading and writing, and it also includes listening, speaking, and social skills that are relevant to communication. Within the classroom environment, teachers seek to heighten students’ auditory and visual decoding processes. These literacy elements are also found in music and can be reinforced through music education. Ot...her elements of rhyme and vocabulary development also exist both in literacy and music, and students can have enriching experiences in these areas within a music classroom. Because literacy is a social skill, this aspect of music is also key to a student’s literacy learning. Musical-literary experiences can occur within and outside of a music classroom, and teachers can find many ways to incorporate music into their regular schedules. Music has a value of its own right and is not just a tool for literacy education, but it can be used to greatly enrich these literacy learning experiences for all students.
