How do you use music in the classroom?  I instruct in a diploma-granting program and I'm always looking for new ideas.  I have played a music video that was on topic for the subject matter I was teaching.  It was for fun and my intent was to spice up my lecture a bit.  I'd love to hear any suggestions on how music is used to help deliver information for both kinesthetic and auditory learners (as per the sensory modalities chapter).  

In the sensory modalities module, I learned that kinesthetic learners learn more effectively standing up, listening to music, while doodling, etc.  This was a delight for me to learn as it offers some fun diversions from the usual lecture or demo format.
