Hi everyone!
I am feeling a little bit overwhelmed with juggling everything in my life right now, I am working full time and am studying full time, so managing my time is a challenge for me every single day.
1) I am not as confident as I would like to be in my ability to teach music to the learners, I know how to play piano and guitar myself, however I have to learn how to teach and pass on my knowledge of music to other learners.
2) I would choose music education to be incorporated into the foundation phase curriculum, as music opens up building blocks in the brain that helps with all kinds of learning. Music teach learners rhythm that will help them with educational learning as well as physical learning. I don't believe that it would work the other way where physical learning helps with music learning. Therefore I'll choose music education as it helps with both elements and not just one.

Hi my name is Gizelde Strauss and I am from Warmbad in Limpopo. I've been an Au pair in America for about two years, it was in those two years where I decided to become a foundation phase teacher. I discovered my love for the little kids and how proud I feel when I teach them a new skill. I love the expression on their faces when they succeed after trying and failing for so many times. I live for the moment of feeling successful after helping them learn a new skill.
I am passionate about sports and teaching my brain new skills everyday. I feel confident that I will learn all the necessary components for e to be able to teach music to my school kids one day. I expect to learn what is important and what is not important in the process of teaching music to foundation phase learners.
