Hi Bloggers.
My week has been hectic so far… And its only Tuesday. Personally I feel very overwhelmed at the moment with all the work for this upcoming week, nut trying to stay positive and putting in the hours to get everything in on time. Honestly what inhibited my learning this week is the stress of everything that is going on lately, it helps me stress a bit less to know that I have put in the hours that I could that day and keep my mind of other things.
The first thing that I became aware of in this study unit is the music notes. I never did any music in school and it always interest me what the notes actually mean, but never got the chance to research it. The most significant and most interesting about the study unit is the different types of music approaches that you get!
As a foundation phase teacher I would choose contemporary commercial music, simply because it includes popular music and film music that the learners will know. If the learners know the song the “new” or existing song will be much easier for the learners to learn, Learners will also keep the rhythm of the song much easier if they already know it. But also on the other hand as mentioned in the study unit it has to many jumps for foundation phase learners.
I think the content and examples in study unit 2 were inclusive. There were activities for learners to do which everyone could enjoy and no one will be left out.
