Hi my name is Lèhandri Oelofsen
. Blogging is a first for me so please bear with me. I live in Uitenhage in the Eastern Cape and is a distant student. I love to work with smaller children, because they are inquisitive and it is amazing to see them learn and grow. Actually I have more than one passion, one is to become a good teacher and then I love the farm life. I am farming with pigs I am really excited to learn about LSKM this semester as all children loves music and like to move. At the end of this semester I hope that I will be able to present a good music lesson and to incorporate music in an class enviroment.

- As a Foundation Phase teacher, you have to choose between utilising indigenous African music, Western Art music or contemporary commercial music (including popular music and film music) in your classes. Which would you choose? Please motivate your answer.
Through music everyone is equal. Children loves to move, sing along and dance to the music they hear. I would choose contemporary commercial music as this type op music is well known to especially the young. They can identify with the music because they hear it on a variety of platforms and because they heard it before it would make them more comfortable and encourage participation.
2. Do you think that the examples and content offered in SU 2 are inclusive? Please motivate your answer.
Working through this study unit I have learnt a lot about music and the role it play in the holistic development of the learner. Even though it is well presented, i feel it could include more languages.
- What suggestions do you have for making the content more inclusive? Please provide examples of how the content and activities presented in SU 2 could be changed or adapted to be more inclusive. I would like to see more examples for grade 2 and 3 to be included.
