Inspiring a love for language through music is one of my favorite aspects of teaching. |
Natalia Lafourcade has been a favorite artist of mine for the last four years, since I first taught her gorgeous tune "Amor de Mis Amores" to my Spanish I students. |
A favorite artist of mine is Prince Royce. One of my favorite aspects of teaching Royce's songs is also teaching basic bachata moves to go along with the music. |
One of my favorite bands to introduce to students is the group Calle 13, a hip-hop group comprised of three "hermanastros" or step-siblings from Puerto Rico. |
Rubén Blades is a singer and songwriter from Panama who writes and performs a blend of Latin-jazz, Afro-Cuban, and salsa music. |
Riding on the success of Gente de Zona’s “Bailando” with my Spanish I students, this collaboration with Marc Anthony was a huge hit. |
A beautiful artist with a rich canon of music that spans over her career, Shakira is an incredibly popular artist that resonates with my students each year. |
One of my student’s favorite artists is the young bachata star Prince Royce. Royce’s bachata tune “Culpa al Corazon” was released in January of 2016. |
The combination of Prince Royce and Shakira is sure to have the fans of both Royce and Shakira in your classroom joyfully singing along. |
The first song that I taught in the classroom as a warm-up was the beautifully simple song Amor de Mis Amores by Mexican artist Natalia Lafourcade. |
Our new song of the week before "Semana Santa" for IB Spanish 2 is the pop tune Despacito by Luis Fonsi, featuring Daddy Yankee. |
