In this study unit 1, I have learned that music is the art of combining sounds through the elements of rhythm and melody. Music also produce harmony and expression of emotions.

The importance of music in foundation phase is that it can improve vocabulary through nursery rhythms, help learners to remember and recognize repeated sounds and sound patterns. Gives learners the desire to learn and improves their creativity. It helps children's mind and body tp cooperate as they will be singing and dancing at the same time. Music helps improve children's coordination movements since they respond to sound and they get to explore what their bodies can and cannot do. Lastly music ignites all areas in a child.

The three learning theories that were mentioned in this unit are psychosocial development theory by Erikson, cognitive development theory by Piaget and development theory by Vygotsky. These learning theories offer frameworks that help understand how information is used, how knowledge is created and how learning takes place.

I've learned about the 5 holistic developments namely; physical, emotional, social, spiritual and mental. The holistic developments instills curiosity and develop communication and social skills in children.
