As a Foundation Phase teacher, I would choose contemporary commercial music. This type of music includes pop, rock, hip-hop and etc. Basically every type of music except for classical music. Learners in the Foundation Phase tend to find classical music boring and enjoy more upbeat, modern music. Contemporary commercial music will encourage and motivate the learners to participate in lessons. The learners will feel more comfortable because they are familiar with he type of music. Also, this type of music is appropriate for all cultures and ages.

Yes, I believe that the examples in Study Unit 2 are inclusive. They are good examples to refer back to and to give a good idea about what is expected from a Foundation Phase teacher. The examples contain good input and perspective on how to create creative and age appropriate lesson to the learners.

I wouldn't add or change anything from the examples in Study Unit 2. They are easily read and understood. I have definitely gained a better knowledge and understanding about what is required of a teacher. I am also excited to learn more.
