Abstract
This article proposes deep explanation of using music and songs for teaching young ELL. The first hint for any teacher regarding the use of music is that it is a tool, not a panacea. Just like any other tool, it can be used appropriately for great benefit, or if used inappropriately it could be useless or perhaps even harmful. Just as a carpenter wouldn't use a power saw to drive a nail, don't use music where it shouldn't be used.
