Benefits of Songwriting in the Classroom

In-school songwriting programs can be beneficial to students by allowing children's creative expression to pair with curriculum. At Coast to Coast School Assemblies we work hand in hand with educators to write songs that are curriculum specific. Before the in-school songwriting sessions begin, we coordinate with teachers and admin to create a game plan for the content we'll be creating. By working through the songwriting process we dive into the subject matter and create fun, memorable ways for students to remember challenging topics. Studies have shown that songs engage the brains memory centers, foster deeper recall through repetition and can widen vocabulary when in the songwriting process.
