SU 3

Music plays a huge role in children’s lives and their culture in the school I am teaching. They sing and dance in church, functions and get exposed to music on the television by watching cartoons and movies at home. When they get exposed to music in the classroom by learning a song, or literacy exercise they enjoy it to the fullest. They express themselves much better during a music lesson and the discipline

I found that most learners actually picked up most of the work being taught to them when they learn it with music than without. The weak learners that learned a new instrument to play were started to perform well in their Mathematics.

When an educator teaches music in class just be careful not to use religious, cultural or music that discriminates. There are lots of nursery songs and poems one can choose from that are CAPS aligned.

Have a great day.
