And so good things come to an end...cant believe this is the last blog entry for this module. Little sad that we are now towards to the end, but also excited to say that I have learnt so much!

As I am not a student teacher at the moment, I have not had the opportunity to be exposed to Music in the FP so at the start of this module, I was literally coming in with little to no knowledge about Music in the FP. I was very excited for this module to begin as I knew that my eyes would be open to something new and interesting and was looking forward to learning everything there is to know about Music in the FP. I have always known that music can have an impact on one's life, as it has for me personally, but how and in what way does it impact a young learner? As we dug deeper into the module content week after week, I became to really understand Music and the impact and importance thereof for young learners. I believe that my knowledge and skills have grown tremendously, whilst navigating and learning the module content. 

I honestly thought that blogging about our individual reflections of this module would be so difficult as I don't see myself as someone that can openly reflect for other individuals to read. It was a little challenging and intimidating at first but this whole experience has really been interesting and inspiring. I believe that through my individual reflections, I have seen how much knowledge I have gained throughout this module and also found that is so important to reflect on areas where you know that you still need to grow in and have a plan to get there.  I have also felt inspired by others, reading their posts and feeling that although we don't all know each other, we do share the same interest and passion in teaching. 

I really found integrating music into other subjects and normal daily routines in class to be interesting and meaningful. The ideas and activities provided were fun and interesting and really illustrated how music can be used with other subjects in a fun way to make learning more interactive and interesting for learners, whilst still being mindful of a multicultural classroom and how to ensure we always promote inclusivity. I found the module very valuable and interesting and I wouldn't change anything about the module. This has been a fun module and I have managed to gain knowledge that I know I will utilize when I become a teacher. 

Thank you Ms. Francis for a wonderful module and for making it interesting and easy to work through and understandable, and also for allowing us the opportunity to express ourselves. It really made my learning experience a good one! 

Wish everyone good luck for the last part of this semester! Remember to add music to your journey, it makes the journey more enjoyable!!!
