An engaging music classroom provides multiple modes for learning. My students love to learn music by singing, moving, playing instruments, and interacting with each other. Traditional classroom chairs provide adequate seating for students, but do not provide the flexibility needed to transition between multiple modes of learning. Time is of the essence in music class, as I only get to see each class once a week for fifty minutes. If transitioning and adjusting our seating becomes too difficult, then the students begin to lose creative instructional time. We are very much in need of stools that will give the students multi-purpose use and are easy to arrange in various ways. Kids need to move during school, and music class gives them the opportunity to do so! Having Wobble Stools will give them a safe means of movement during class that will be aid their engagement and fulfill the need to move! The stools are designed to support movement without compromising the balance or structural integrity of the chair, making them safe for student use. They are also minimal in noise, which will help students get the amount of movement they need while also allowing their classmates to stay focused and engaged. Giving my students the flexibility and comfort they need during my class will only help them create a more positive musical experience for themselves, and I will be a very happy teacher knowing that they have the best possible learning environment!
