MacMannis has developed over 40 songs in a variety of types that help kids with everything from being confident and managing their feelings to respecting others and understanding responsibility. To test the 40 songs’ effects on school kids，a study involved 320 first- and second-grade students from 16 classrooms at schools in Santa Barbara and Goleta，California.Kids were given a CD，and then received nine lessons using songs and activities from trained college students.The themes were：Friendship and Reaching Out，Respect and Caring，Celebrating Differences，Expressing and Managing Feelings，Communication and Conflict，Positive Thinking，Dealing with Fears，Best Effort，and Manners and Review. To test the efficiency of the intervention(介入)，teachers completed the Behavioral and Emotional Screening System (BESS) for each child four times in one year along with other assessments about the classroom.The college students who taught the lessons，the school’s principal and the children’s parents all provided feedback as well. Both first and second graders showed a variety of improvements，including “approaching peers，understanding and using the Golden Rule，settling conflicts by talking out feelings，staying on tasks and having a positive attitude，”according to MacMannis.Second graders also“showed improvements on concentration and self-control.” Music is a great way to engage your kids in powerful lessons，such as teaching them social and emotional skills.“Music makes complex concepts more accessible and enjoyable.It assists the progress of language learning.C
