I have learned a lot from LSKM 221 this semester, about music education, lesson plan and integrating music with other subject. I have learned the importance of music in the foundation phase, music help learners to understand easily and better and it also help them enjoy the lessons. Music helps learners to know meanings of words it also improves cognitive development of the child. Art integration helps learners to be able to express their feeling about the music through drawing pictures or writing a story.
What did you find challenging?
I found creating a game for music concepts activity challenging because at the beginning I did not understand what it was all about and what was required and I had to write again to start over.
Did you find the individual reflection valuable?
Yes, I found individual reflection valuable because it helped me understand about the music education and its importance in foundation phase. I know a lot about music now which I was unaware of at first.
What would you change if you had the opportunity in future?
There is nothing I would change because I think everything I know so far is relevant and important. All the things I have learned from this module was very helpful to me.
What did you find interesting and meaningful?
What I have found interesting is group work, doing videos learning together as a group about the importance of music and designing games for foundation phase learners. Everything I have learned from this module is meaningful.
What challenged you and what do you still struggle to understand?
Creating a game for music concepts.
What didn't you find valuable for your future teaching practice?
There is nothing I didn't find valuable for my future teaching practice, everything was valuable.
