1. From the start of the Semester, I didn't really understand why is there a need to teach or integrate music in Foundation Phase. I always thought that such things are only done at musical schools. LSKM module really helped to change my perspective towards music in Foundation Phase. I now know how important it is as a teacher to use or rather integrate music with other subjects.

2.■ I learnt about my strengths and weaknesses, about what interests and challenges me. I was able to reflect on what I have learnt from the start of this Semester until now.

    ■Intergrating music other subjects especially Mathematics as a subject, was a bit difficult for me as I focused more on content than on using music to help learners understand the content more better.

  ■Yes, because I was able to examine my capabilities, know where I lack  and where to fix myself as an individual.

   ■ I woule change how I made some of the decisions and set my priorities right as to focus more on my weaknesses as well as challenges I faced in this module.

3.  ■What was really interesting for me was tip and tricks when planning a lesson focused on music and types of music activities for Foundation Phase learners (Study Unit 2) as well as Orff's creative process.

     ■Integrating music with other subjects was a bit challenging for me and almost the whole part of Study Unit 1 that talks about the value of music for the holistic development of Foundation Phase learners and how different music activities promote holistic development areas.

   ■ Everything that was taught in this module is very valuable as it will really help in my future teaching practise.
