Every child is unique.He or she has a unique personality,interests,tastes,values,attitudes,strength and weakness.The educational curriculum needs to help each child find his or her unique place in the world that correspond to his or her uniqueness.

 

Music development in the foundation phase

By the time the children started school,they had developed the ability to selectively listen,and targeted listening increases work behaviour and length of listening.This is a very important development to allow children to focus on specific musical aspects,During this period,another form of "selective" listening was developed,reducing children's openness to non-Western music.In addition to the ability to selectively listen,middle-aged children also developed other skills.With the ability to adjust the pitch more accurately.
