Hello everyone!

Assessments can be neglected because of teachers not really being an expert in this field of teaching. The teachers might not really know the correct way to assess the learners. Some under privileged schools might not have the facilities to have a music department and therefore there is no opportunity for children to be assessed or even learn about music. Not all schools have all of the different resources needed to make it possible. To perform and make use of arts you need resources and it you do not have all the resources it will not be possible.

I would advocate for and heighten awareness about the importance of assessment by showing proof of how music can benefit learners in many ways. I would also explain how learners enjoy music and how it can impact their lives positively. I will also tell the HOD that music and performing arts allows the learners to express themselves in the classroom and gives the learners a safe space. By providing different ideas and activities I will also tell the HOD the importance of how music can be implemented and what difference it makes in the learners’ lives.
