THE END IS HERE!!

We have come to the end of our blogging journey guys , although we still have one last stretch to this year, I know we can make the best of it.

I have learned a lot and I hope you fell the same, I know that there are still many adventures ahead of us in which we can incorporate music into our own daily lives and our students and children if any of you have perhaps.

OUR FUTURE ENDEAVOURS

We have to understand that we will be dealing with Foundation phase learners in our futures, and we have to do our best to understand that they will be very playful learners and we need to incorporate ways and means to help them understand and develop through music.

I have learned that we should understand our music elements, engage with our students, and allow as much fun as possible in our classrooms. I have learned that music does not only stop at an instrument, but it can also be all around you, your desk, your body, you pencil, your juice bottle and many more. You do not have to have a rich environment for children to learn through music. I have learned many new names in these study units such as Zoltan Kodaly, Reggio Emilia, Dalcroze, Erikson, Piget, Vygotsky and many more. Music allows development in a physical, cognitive, social, personal and emotional manner. I t has allowed me to understand the diversity between children and the need to explore more activities for different children as well as consider children’s religions when choosing a specific music lesson. I can go on about music the whole day, so let me end our year off by saying: Each and every one of us can make a success of everything we do, when we try.
