As an administrator it's part of the job to set the tone of a school. Everyone looks to the leader for the feel, pace, and productivity of each day. Visitors to a school can often feel the environment of the building as soon as they enter the door.
Schools that have music playing through the halls help make 'residents' and guests feel welcome and comfortable without anyone having to say anything. Pandora can help an administrator set the tone of a day, a meeting, a room, or their own office with the music they play. Pandora allows an administrator to search for a song or artist, then creates a 'station' around it that plays an infinite number of songs that are similar.
Now is a good time to experiment with playing music through the halls. School is either out for the summer and teachers are starting to clean out their rooms, or there are a few days left to let students hear the music before leaving for the summer!
