I did not manage to open any new window where I could post a link.

I am sure this will help you decide on the use of songs in the classroom:

If your students' strengths are related to their musical intelligence why deprive them of music?

Just how important has music been in your life?

How was is used in your own classes as a student?

It all depends on the level of your students. For primary/nursery school pupils, to whom English is a second language, songs and rhymes are a very good tool to help them learn the new sounds and words. Of course they just start like parrots as they repeat the words they hear, but don't we all do it?...
