Action Research Music Day 3

Today was the first day incorporating Piano music into the classroom. At the beginning, I noticed similar results from the Classical music days; students still complained that they were not listening to their own music, and it took 1 or 2 minutes to get them back on track. Contrary to last week, though, was the behavior and mood of the students as they wrote. While students may have shown distaste with the music last week, they still worked diligently throughout the writing period. This time they seemed more tired as they wrote. Many looked almost out of it and lethargic, something I believe was caused by the calming nature of the music. I'll have to wait and see how it looks the next time, but it's interesting to see this change in behavior.
