Transforming Classroom Dynamics: The Power of Sound-Making Activities

Envision a classroom where transitions between activities are seamless, students are actively engaged, and their cognitive and social-emotional development is consistently nurtured. This vision becomes a reality with the integration of sound-making activities. These activities facilitate smoother transitions and play a crucial role in enhancing executive functioning skills, promoting active listening, and encouraging mindfulness. Their impact in diverse classrooms, supporting children with varying language abilities and behavioral needs, is significant.

In Episode 267 of Class Dismissed, we delve into this transformative teaching method with Hayes Greenfield—an accomplished saxophonist, composer, and educator based in New York City. Greenfield is also the founder of CreativeSoundPlay.com.

His platform offers a play-based learning system for early childhood educators, focusing on sound-making activities to enrich classroom dynamics. Through a comprehensive guide and engaging workshops, Creative Sound Play transforms routine transitions into educational experiences that foster mindfulness, active listening, and cognitive growth.

Listen to Episode 267 of the Class Dismissed Podcast on your favorite podcast app or Apple Podcast to hear how Greenfield uses sound as a tool in the classroom.
