Turn Up the Music: The Benefits of Music in Classrooms

Two students playing music in their online class.

Remember learning the alphabet with a catchy tune? Music has a special way of sticking with us. Whether it’s a favorite ballad or a song for learning the order of the planets, melodies help us remember and grasp complex concepts. That’s why more schools are using music as a powerful tool to teach kids a variety of subjects—far beyond their ABCs. 

Studies show that music can make a big difference in the classroom. It boosts reading skills, reduces stress, teaches emotional management, and makes the classroom environment more positive. A research team from Stanford University School of Medicine even found that music helps kids pay better attention. 

K12-powered schools are making learning even more fun by teaming up with Snoop Dogg’s Doggyland. This animated series features a lively world where colorful dogs sing, rap, and dance their way through educational topics. From letter and number recognition to sharing and celebrating diversity, these songs foster learning, cognitive development, and social-emotional skills. 

Each character, from the shy Chow Wow to the confident Woofee, has a unique personality, making it easy for your child to connect with them. K12 teachers use content from the Doggyland collection to tailor learning to each student’s needs, making the experience both engaging and personalized. 

If you want to see your child excited about learning, K12-powered schools offer a fun, music-filled approach to education that supports your child’s learning goals.
