Music in the Classroom

As you may know, music is a great way to create a warm, yet lively learning environment. I found an abundance of interesting, free music on You Tube to play in class with students. This particular video shows Autumn scenery in Japan while calm music plays without lyrics. It would be great to find different music for the classroom which represents the cultural and linguistic diversity of our students! I would love to have students bring in their own music selections to share too! What's your favorite music for the classroom? What have you tried?
