I feel incredibly confident in my current knowledge and skills to teach music through movement in the Foundation Phase as you start your LSKM 221 journey. I also believe I am confident to integrate music into your teaching practice currently. Throughout high school, I partcipated in many music groups, including the marimba band and the school choir. I am also currently working at a school while studying and have gained much knowledge throughout the years.

When thinking about facilitating holistic development in the Foundation Phase, we need to consider, for example, cognitive development, personal development, social development, emotional development and physical development. We also need to consider literacy and numeracy skills, language acquisition, creativity, problem solving and midline crossing. When choosing between physical education and musical education, I would most certainly choose to incorparate music instead, for the reason that it is easy to create physical movement into a music lesson, but not nesacarily visa versa.
