27 Nov 2021, 10:34 Publicly Viewable

The holistic development content is long and confusing it requires time and attention.

Children of all ages express themselves through music. Even young infants sway, bounce, or move their hands in response to music. Many preschoolers make up songs and, with no self-consciousness, sing to themselves as they play. Children in elementary school learn to sing together as a group and possibly learn to play a musical instrument. Older children dance to the music of their favorite bands, and use music to form friendships and share feelings. Try these activities and games with your children to experience the pleasure and learning that music brings.

Holistic development essentially means the development of intellectual, mental, physical, emotional, and social abilities in a child so that he or she is capable of facing the demands and challenges of everyday life. These abilities are vitally important for success in professional fields of work.

What i learned from the SU 1 is that it very important for learners to know music and know the aspects of music.While the learners learn the type of music they promote their holistic development in some way. The holistic development has many aspects like cognitive, physical, emotional, social and personal Development. The learners can promote activities in different ways like playing the musical instruments and dancing. The learners learn a lot in music they also develop their skills slowly but surely.

So as a teacher you have to be creative and teach your learners new things.  Like teaching the learners different kinds of music. So that they can know the different kinds of music.
