My experience with children has taught me that one of the greatest obstacles in learning to read is vocabulary. Children have to not only be taught the vocabulary but experience it in order to really understand what it means. I have researched teaching vocabulary through music and have found it to be very successful. The following powerpoint describes to you my findings and some ideas for teaching vocabulary through music.

I agree that teaching almost anything through music could be extremely successful. I mean, take for instance a child who doesn't do well in school but can recite a song that he/she likes word for word. Obviously, the song, its' tune, its' language, its' everything attracts the child and he/she loves it so they listen to it over and over again. Gosh, this is essentially referred to as "studying". So, I think that is an amazing thing to do and good luck with it.
