Hi it's me again! 

I hope it's going great with everyone and that you all are safe. This week started of hectic with a lot of assignments and tests. I don't know if you guys feel the same?

In study unit 2 I realized how important it is to incorporate different types of music in the classroom. It is so interesting how music can help children to gain a lot of knowledge and skills. Music is also a great way to meet all the learners' needs in the classroom. It can get a little bit difficult in the classroom sometimes to try and meet all the learners' needs at one time. I really think that music can help a lot in the classroom.

1. 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. 

I would like to utilize all types of music in my classroom. It can definitely help with learning and to meet the needs of each child. Every child is different and learns in a different way and I think by using all types of music might help each child in the classroom to learn and feel included. 

If I only have to choose one type of music in my classroom, I think it would be contemporary commercial music. This type of music is familiar to mostly all of the children and it would interest most of the learners in the classroom. This will mean that more learning will take place and the learners will be interested in learning and hopefully everyone will feel included in the classroom. 

I would be happy to use any music in my classroom but only if my learners feel welcome, included and interested to learn

2. Do you think that the examples and content offered in SU 2 are inclusive? Please motivate your answer.

I definitely feel that the content in Study unit 2 are inclusive. In this study unit I learned a lot more about how music can be used in the classroom and how to create fun music activities. It was so interesting to learn about all the ways that music can help to include all learners in the classroom and to meet their needs. After learning the content of this study unit, I really feel more comfortable to use music in the classroom and I think that learning through music and games is a great way to keep learners interested in learning. 

3. 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 don't think that I can suggest that anything should change in this study unit. The information in this study unit is very inclusive, easy to understand and really interesting. There is a lot in study unit 2 that can be used in the classroom. I think this is a excellent study unit and it included everything we needed to learn about.

I hope you enjoyed this study unit as much as I did and I am looking forward to learn a lot more about music and its uses in the classroom.

Have a lovely week further and stay safe! 

Goodbye, until next time.
