My children loved to listen to music when they were in middle school (it kept them from having to do the class work)and they always preferred the classics. If the music has good rhythm and melody that will hold the students attention. Some musical piece that has finger movement. If the students are church going you could always play some hymms.

my friends little sister and all her friends are all about classic rock, middle school kids like good music these days, Led Zeppelin is a good idea, you should do The Beatles for sure, do Rocky Raccoon

Kids are not going to leave music. Music adapts itself onto every age group. In fact, these days music is more apart of life than it ever was. Especially in the middle/high level. This age group, I reccomend things from 2003+. Led Zepplin will only target maybe 1 outa 30 Unfortuantly.

Try introducing them to the ’same type of rhythms’ in older music … the Irish came down to the Appalachian and that became the beginnings of rock … play some stuff they DO NOT KNOW that will ‘feel similar’ to the ‘modern music’ they listen to, and you’ll get a lot farther in ‘keeping kids in music’ than by just playing the ’stuff they listen to all the time.’

You could always try High School Musical stuff, kids love that stuff. J/K. Umm... Middle schoolers huh? Are they upper like 8th graders or lower 5th and 6th? Lower kids would pretty much listen to whatever you play, the older ones would need to hear something they are familiar with.

anything that has to do with High School Musical...the younger kids are obsessed with it. I'd suggest the song: Bet On It

I would stick with classical jazz or pop. Maybe do some of your own free style mixed in with some hip hop, since kids at that age are just starting to get more into the traditional genres that stereotype middle schoolers.
