Since my mother passed away on the 22nd July, it hasn't felt that I've had enough chance to work trough all my studies. I'm also working as an Au Pair, and between working, helping with arrangements, it felt like I was rushing trough the work, but this past few days, I took the time and late nights to get on schedule, so that I can start Monday on schedule and on a new page. I feel that I'm in a good space with music, I love that music is part of teaching.

Some of the new things I've come aware of was the different ages some of the music skills start to develop and what the specific development is.

When I thought about the question where if I have to choose between music education or physical education for holistic development, my decision was clear to me to use music education. Both would be of a benefit, but that is if I had to choose. My reasoning for this  is that music creates a creative space for a child which is essential for their development.  As stated in the SU 1 under cognitive development, music promotes both numeracy and literacy skills. It also stated that it can help with language development, it can happen when the child learn to sing songs in multiple languages. My last reason for my choice is that I grew up doing music in school and made lots friends and music also helped me trough tough times and it was like an escape and I've many similar stories to mine.

I really see forward to the rest of this module, this module also consists of good quality information and I really think that this module will give me new perspective on the subject music.
