Silence? Not in this room.

In this episode, Lauren shares one of her classroom nonnegotiables—background music—and why it’s more than just a vibe. From calming nerves to boosting focus, music can transform your space and your students’ performance.

You’ll learn:

• Why silence feels awkward and unproductive for many learners
• How Lauren uses an Alexa and playlists (like The Piano Guys) to keep energy balanced
• What research says about music’s impact on memory, focus, and creativity
• How to set healthy guidelines for students who want to use their own headphones

Whether you’re creating a cozy media room or a focused math zone, this episode will help you turn up the effectiveness of your space—without saying a word.
