Study unit 2

This week has been hectic. Managing my time, studies and extra curricular activities was a challenge this week. I have not found the balance yet. 

During this study unit I learned quite a lot. I found it extremely interesting what role music plays in students lives. The most significant thing for me was the different music education approaches. I will certainly uses Carl Orff's approach one day in the classroom. I like the fact that he focuses on using music for holistic development. 

I would use contemporary commercial music, because this is the songs that the students know and will be more motivated to participate in these activities. 

I do believe that the examples and content in study unit 2 is inclusive. There are multiple examples for us to use, multiple languages are used and activities are for different ages. I do believe that this unit can be made more inclusively by adding  more commercial songs and activities for older children such as the grade 3's. With some of these activities they might get bored and not show interest.
