Music is hands down one of the most easily accessable and deliverable tools to use to adapt students to an environment which might be intimidating for them. It helps them to relax and relate.

As an instructor who primarily delivers course content through lecture, I find it necessary to almost put on a show to make students pay attention. But if the show goes well, all are happy.

I have found that on day one, the tone for the entire course can be set by following a well planned and organized introduction including all of the examples in the module.

The importance of learning something new each day should be accompanied by an enthusiasm for the topic being taught.
