1. The knowledge I had in music was that I knew music as songs and some genres not what music is and that   there is beat, rhythm and tempo also not what they are. I didn’t look into these before doing the module. At the end of the module, I know what they are and the difference in these music concepts. Having listening skill is an advantage as in music education we listen to music trying to pick out the beat, rhythm, tempo, pitch, and other music concepts in songs. At the end I learned that we listen to music to measure volume levels and performance of dynamics.

 My experience in music is one which music can calm down and relax when listening to music, there those   people who use it as a coping mechanism when they are overwhelmed. My attitude towards music education wasn’t a pleasing one, as I thought to myself, we do not have to learn music as we will not be teaching music at school. Surprisingly so, that changed along the way as I learned that music can be used to teach in classes and learners can excel in their studies because they love music using that method.

2. - I found music activity challenging because I think I do not know or understand it as I did not do well in the music activity assignment.

• Yes, I was able to see where I had challenges and have to improve my work.
• Read more about music concepts, try to understand music activities.

3. That music impact positively in a learners’ academic performance, helps in developing social skills and creativity in the child’s development.

• Nothing, I found all of them valuable to my future teaching practice.
