The Connections Between Music and Reading
(by Elizabeth Peterson)
Music and reading share many similarities. When reviewing a reading curriculum, the author noticed that most ideas about reading could also apply to music. In her book Inspired by Listening, she explores how music can help build community and support writing in the classroom.
Listening to music, like reading, includes three stages: before, during, and after. Before listening, it helps to know the background of the composer, genre, or instruments used. While listening, students should focus and become familiar with the piece. After listening, they reflect and make judgments, just like when analyzing a story.
Learning about a piece of music also builds vocabulary. For example, students can describe sounds, instruments, or musical styles. Listening to a piece repeatedly allows students to recognize patterns, anticipate favorite parts, and discover new details—similar to rereading a book they enjoy.
After experiencing music, students can express their thoughts through writing, drawing, or speaking. Teachers can guide students to make connections between music and reading by pointing out how both activities involve interpretation, memory, and emotional response.
When students realize how they listen to music—thinking about performers, enjoying familiar melodies, and reflecting on the experience—they become more aware of how they read. Music can become a useful tool for helping students better understand reading skills and processes.
