I like to listen to music around the world. I think it would be a great idea to listen to music from a specific country if you are covering it in your classroom. For example, if students are doing Egyptian art, perhaps a station in Egypt would be appropriate.

Hello Fellow Art Teachers,
I have been helped time and time again by reading my daily
teacherartexchange emails. Its been a great help as a young teacher to
find resources and to confirm my classroom practices.
I am curious if others play music in their rooms as students work. I
am one to always have background noise but am struggling to find
music, other than classical or jazz, that is kid friendly (4th-8th).
Any suggestions of iTunes Radio stations, cds or records?
