This will help layout the classroom to suit the needs of myself and the students. i personally cannot concentrate with music playing but would be open to trying it
Peripherals in the classroom and the importance of color, but I was so impressed about the music to stimulate the alpha waves that I googled it and an now listening to it while completing this course. I will definitely be using this during practical exercises.

Importance of classroom orientation (seating, decore, etc.) - as well as overall structure as it pertains to time management and stimulus (musis, visual, etc.)

Music has always brought poeple together. Non specific music avoids personal internal conflict and class arrangement facilities enhanced learning.
I have learned much about creating an accelerated learning environment.
I learned that the smallest things that make the biggest difference, such as having the shy student sit closer to you and how music has a positive impact in the classroom, if used appropriately.
I learned about how important the classroom environment is to effective learning. I also learned about how everything from seating to lighting to color can affect the classroom learning environment.
