Having two teenagers in the house can be challenging. First thing in the car driving to school is to connect their music to the radio. They must make turns because their taste in music is not the same. Luckily not! I love it when it is my turn playing the oldies.

I feel children respond positively to music even teenagers especially if it is music they are familiar with. Therefor I will choose the contemporary commercial music including popular music and film music in my classes where learners can express themselves through music they know.

I think Study unit 2 are inclusive because it covered the basics we need to know about music, as well as the various elements also the importance of learners to feel equal regardless of religion, race or socioeconomic status. The video examples were interesting and explain the music concepts. I was very surprised to have learned about all of the elements that comes with music which can be used in the classroom and in the lessons. I also watched a few videos on body percussion and it amazed me how you can form a pattern by clapping hands or snap your fingers on the beat of the music. Everyday Children learn new things, music even contribute to creativity and imagination.

Personally I don’t think any content need to be change in study unit 2.The information was well formulated and easily understood and it helped me to understand music and the elements of music better. With the help of study unit 2 I think that the value of this content for teaching practice is very valuable and I will most definitely use it in my classroom. Looking forward to the rest of the module.
