IAM feeling so excited because the week has finally ended at last, I could rest myself. As this has been a very long week for me  due to the load of work I had. Data and loadshedding are the main components that have inhibited my studies this week. I have been struggling with data and this has made me to lose some of my online classes I couldn't attend them this made me to fall behind with my studies and also the loadshedding that occurred repeatedly in our area made to lose out some of the important work I had to postpone my work as my batteries were low and I could not study in the darkness. 

I have learnt that music plays an important role in the development of foundation phase learners. Through music can foster relationship and interactions with each other. Another point is that music promote the physical development of the foundation phase learners.the most important concepts for me were the learning theories which is Erikson's stages of psychosocial development, Piaget's cognitive development theory and vygotsky and the zone of proximal development. All these theories talk about the children's growth and how they interact with their surrounding world in order for them to learn and gain knowledge. 

The intergration of music in the foundation phase increases the learners ability and also when the learners take part in music by singing songs , clapping their hands , moving around their physical development grows . However music can also help to retain the learners memories as they are able to remember important words as they sing. I would choose incorporating music education because it develops the physical development of learners , music helps to expand the learners vocabulary by learning new words. Another point is that when the learners engage in music activities their academic achievement will be improved ad music education promotes higher- order thinking skills, logical and abstract thinking and internalisation of knowledge.
