1. My confidence level has allowed me to widen musical horizons and ambitions. As a Foundation Phase teacher I'm very enthusiastic about teaching and learning music. Hence music brings out one's self confidence that they enjoy. Therefore I embark on teaching learners to be able to cope with emotions that can be expressed through music. The music skills, knowledge and confidence will allow me to teach with a more deeper understanding and an enjoyable experience.

2. Music education plays a vital role in the holistic development of a child. In the foundation phase classes learners are taught rhymes that they enjoy and utilize their bodies during performing arts. A child cognitive levels are expanded when they assimilate ideas from one to another. As Vygotsky indicates learners learn best through social interaction. Therefore learners are grouped when delivering activities. Learners personal development is tested when they are given projects that needs to be accomplished by themselves. Numeracy and literacy development becomes more understandable when they sing a poem/rhyme that they can identify with. Most children express their emotions through music.
