The value of musical play in  Foundation Phase

Introducing musical play in the classroom, more especially in Foundation Phase, it practically increases the learner's skills and help them solve the problem.I have learned that children learn through play, and music is the one of the best resource in teaching. Music helps children in controlling their emotions, they can be open and express their feeling through music.I didn't know that playing music in the classroom is acceptable I thought teachers can only sing but through this chapter I have gained knowledge. Learners learn more through music, they ended up knowing that they can use their body parts to make different sounds, and as a teacher you become creative because for your game to be fun and successful you need more elements that you can also make on your own. In the beginning when children sings at home, I thought they just like noise not knowing that is another way of their development. If you group them and provide empty tins as drums, make shakers with seeds and start singing and dancing with them, you will see the joy and happiness that comes from them. They will repeatedly ask you to do it to show that they have enjoyed and they will also learn the new words from the songs which improves their knowledge. Therefore introducing musical play in the classroom is not a waste of time but a privilege.
