Music and Literacy… A Perfect Match!• Language in music and literacy have symbols to read and write
• Music, reading, and writing track from left to right
• Music connects the functions of left & right hemispheres of the brain
• Music and literacy promote complex thinking
• Stages for writing music: prewrite, draft, revise, edit, publish
• Both have rhythm, repetition, and rhyme
• Songs naturally divide words into syllables and sounds, just as reading and writing.
