Hi everyone,

Hope everything is fine as  we are approaching the end of the semester.

I am so excited that I  finally  had time to   express my  understanding  to the remaining  units that  I did not attend on time due  to other responsibilities  but  I am stiving  to do my best even though  it seems to be hard sometimes  I believe I will  finally  get there.

Listening to  and responding to  music.

 I have learned that music is  important in teaching and learning in foundation phase. Learners learn best through music ,this reminds me back when I was  a kid that  we were good in imitating  our peers ,parents, teachers and  musicials  and also competing on each others   and playing singing games.. This helped me to be confident and building self esteem  even though I was a little bit shy that time . Music  activities  support nom-musical learning  and holistic development. of other subjects.

Inclusivity  and diversity in music classroom 

It is of importance to include all learning styles  are catered .It  start by  learners touching instruments, feeling vibrations, smelling the wood.  type of songs that are chosen must be must be diverse and including  cultures and religions.  The teacher must include learners  playing  songs  in order to build self esteem and confidence.

Teaching them about different  instruments  which are used for  a certain  music ,will open learners eyes  in order to be able to differenciate  type of music.   As a teacher  I can easly nuture  learners music  abilities  again   by focusing on  stages of development. e.g Imitation, exploration, improvision  and composition.

Thank you ,that is all for now.
