You know how those silly jingles you hear on the radio or TV stay in your head for hours? There's a reason some work so well - and it has to do with memory and emotion.
Companies use jingles to help customers remember their business name and products. Songs in commercials can help put listeners in a good mood, which they then associate with the company.
For example, when FreeCreditReport.com released its commercials with those catchy songs, it saw a 20% increase in website memberships.
What can we learn from these catchy commercials?
We know that music taps into long-term memory, and through repetition, music can help students not only learn Hebrew and prayers, but also remember them.
Our soon-to-be-released Hebrew in Harmony curriculum focuses on music as a means to encourage students to create meaning from personal and communal prayer. The flowing words help students learn Hebrew through the music!
