Investigation of the influence of classical music on the writing performance of seventh grade students

Abstract

The use of classical music in the seventh grade English composition classroom may provide a powerful means to motivate students to write - and write more creatively and effectively. It may have the potential to help students with visualization, imagination, description, and expression. Incorporating classical music with writing may also provide teachers with more effective instructional strategies for teaching writing. This study examined two classrooms' discovery and investigation of writing while listening to classical music.
