Good day everyone, 

As the end of the year comes closer, I saw how much I grew throughout the year in my studies as Foundation Phase teacher. 

My knowledge, skills and attitude regarding music education changed a lot from the beginning of the semester up to now. I didn't liked music education, but through all the knowledge and skills I experienced and build on, I now likes to interpret music in all my lessons and my daily life as a teacher. I always thought that music is only one or two items but now I see that music education consist of a lot of elements and that changed me a lot.

From my experience with the individual reflections, I learned to express my feeling toward something visually by writing / typing it down. The challenging part of this module was the assignments as I was not creative with music education but that changed during the semester. Yes, the individual reflections was meaningful as I could express myself to other people and that helped me to thoroughly process the information. The way in which I did my reflections, I could have added more attention to the reflections. 

The music play and different games we can use was interesting for me and I really enjoy this study Unit (study unit 3). I struggled with how to integrate art into foundation phase and that study unit is not really under wraps yet and I still need to work on that study unit. All of this work is valuable for future teaching and I wouldn't change anything in this module. 

Thank you for reading my blogs and I hope you enjoy it just as much as I do.
