TOPIC 1

What is the purpose of music education?

Music education requires learners to recognize and repeat pitch, tone or enunciation of words. Especially in young children, music directly benefits the ability to learn words, speak them correctly, and process the many new sounds they hear from others. Music education involves a high level of memorization.19 Jun 2018

Why is music important in the Foundation Phase?

Music ignites all areas of child development and skills for school readiness, including intellectual, social-emotional, motor, language, and overall literacy. It helps the body and the mind work together. Dancing to music helps children build motor skills while allowing them to practice self-expression.15 Apr 2021

What are the benefits of including music in early childhood education?

Listening to and creating music helps children learn numeracy, literacy and emotional skills. Incorporating music into routines and play in the early years has a positive influence on your child's early development. It can get them moving, thinking and inspire creativity.30 Oct 2020

TOPIC 2

 Musical influence to our cultural diversity

Musicians are known to express themselves through song and melody to convey how they're feeling in life, which allows listeners to relate and find comfort in the music. Music prompts people in every culture around the world to dance and express how they feel with movement.11 Jan 2017

Music has the power to culturally, morally, and emotionally influence our society. Thus, the more intentional we become with the sounds, messages, and moods we create and release through our music, the more powerful we will become in making deep positive impacts.24 Aug 2015

TOPIC 3

Fond memories

• It was really engaging our teacher was part of us, she was us, from the beginning to the end of the period we could sing during religious education praising the Lord in all ways. During mathematics we could integrate the numbers by singing showing four fingers when we count number 4. During Health education we integrate 1, 2 buckle my shoe bending down tying our shoe laces as part of the body exercise while singing and saying words in a proper pronunciation, that was also language learning.

• Never there was no dull moments as I shall go home singing what we were singing at school, the share with my family and friends that is why we never used calculators, as my teacher will drill us in mental maths there was no way you could not get the total mark for the speed test as I sleep what I learnt, eat it, bath it, to stay in my mind forever.

• Excitement over and over again, it was happening as I was hungry for education.

• There is no way I could change music education, I grow up with it. It is part of my life the thing is technology has taking over, I used manmade musical instruments, like a drum of paraffin for drum and motor oil container for the guitar. It was happening I was never lazy. Nowadays we buy.

TOPIC 4

ART INTEGRATION

• Arts integration has been proven to contribute towards higher motivation levels among learners and supports academic achievement and socialisation among learners. Schools that encourage teachers to apply arts integration strategies in their teaching have shown improved results with regards to learners’ mathematic performance as well as decreased disciplinary challenges.
• When learners are encouraged to demonstrate their understanding through the arts, we create teaching and learning environments in which individual learning needs and abilities are met. Through the application of arts integration teaching strategies, we design teaching and learning activities which are inclusive and provide multiple means of engaging with and internalising new knowledge and skills (accommodate various learning styles and preferences
• Ultimately, through arts integration, foundation phase learners will develop their problem solving and critical thinking skills through engagement in authentic learning activities which foster the ability to become aware of the various ways in which we are not only connected to each other but our world while drawing attention to the ways in which the various subjects in our curriculum are connected. This is especially appropriate in the foundation phase as the CAPS is also written in a way which encourages teachers to draw links between various subjects by integrating various subjects

There is nothing I can change unless all resources that I needed are there, and my wish is that the department of education must subsidize all school with the whole band and orchestra equipment and teachers should go for training unfortunately it will not happen.
