So at first, the term "interdisciplinary" flew right over my head. However, after some very intense googling I have come to understand that it is a practice that incorporates two or more academic areas into one activity.
This got my mind going, "how exactly does one combine different subjects with music?" Some subjects seem to be easier to integrate into a music curriculum such as English or History, but what about Math? Math is such a tedious topic for some students, and by incorporating it into a musical setting they may be able to better comprehend the lesson.
I stumbled upon this website in my interdisciplinary searches. It provides links to different lesson plan options and various ways to incorporate music and math into one fun, multidimensional activity.
I feel this is a very important tool for educators. The ability to provide a different method of learning for students is crucial to their success.
Wow, this would be really helpful to use in the music classroom! I like that this has not only activities, but entire lesson plans online that one can incorporate to create a complete interdisciplinary experience for students.
