INDIVIDUAL REFLECTION

8 Dec 2021, 07:07 Publicly Viewable

In this module, learned a lot about artistic integration, music and lesson planning. As children learn through play, they find that music helps them express themselves and participate in lessons both inside and outside the classroom. 
 From my point of view, it is very beneficial to include art integration and play in the basic course. Through art and music, children can express their innate passion for music, art and creativity. I find it almost easy to learn new concepts and ideas using art. Unlike traditional learning, where all these new things that learners don't understand have to be stuffed into their heads, it seems to make learning better. 
 

STUDY UNIT 5:LESSON PLANNING

8 Dec 2021, 06:53 Publicly Viewable

Important points to keep in mind when planning a lesson basic:


 Contents
 Start by listing the important facts, important concepts, skills, or keywords 
 that I want to cover. 

Goal
 As a result of the lesson plan I teach, identify the goal or result you want the learner to achieve. 

 Goals
 Identify the goals that  learners include in the learning process and hopefully can be achieved. 

 Resources
 Lists the resources and resources  needed for a successful education. 
 Introduction Describes or lists the focus of an event or attention that motivates the 
 learner to pay attention. 
 Developing Activities for Learners Please explain my plans for 
 learners  to model or explain what they need to do. 

 Completion
 Lists or explains how to complete the lesson. 

 Rating
 Lists or describes how to evaluate or measure a learner's success in achieving the desired results. 
 The value of art integration among learners in basic education. The 
  standard supports learners in learning facts. This helps learners increase their chances of understanding these facts. Artistic integration also provides genuine, personally meaningful learning and demonstrates learner potential. The integration of art gives learners the opportunity to express what they have learned in class through a variety of art forms, building cooperation, collaboration and trust, communicating personal responsibility. In addition, art integration builds ownership by allowing learners  to express what they have learned in class in different ways. Finally, art integration builds critical thinking, learners think critically, and build  personal meaning through  learning in art integration classes. As a 
 teacher, I encourage you to incorporate playful elements  to promote creativity, discovery, collaboration, and  apply artistic integration strategies as often as possible in your class. 
 By including music and art in all classes, teachers can not only acquire social and creative thinking skills, but also motivate learners to learn more about themselves. Music helps  develop  skills, attitudes and characteristics that can support learning in curriculum subjects in other countries.

STUDY UNIT 4:ARTS INTERGRATION IN THE FOUNDATION PHASE

The integration of art facilitates teaching and learning strategies that approach the results of different subjects in different ways, while encouraging learners to demonstrate understanding of concepts and skills through art. Learners engage in full-fledged musical activities before introducing notation Integration of value or art at the basic stage Artistic integration goes a long way, supports academic performance and motivates Learners have the opportunity of a collaborative social environment and enjoy and more in the classroom as soon as they become comfortable that they are happy to promote their love for music and movement. Start discovering a lot of play.

STUDY UNIT 3:MUSIC PLAY IN THE FOUNDATION PHASE

This research unit deals with the effects and meanings of music performances in the early stages of their founding. The importance of learning music from an early age has been compared to  the acquisition of literacy skills. Many experts in the field of child development agree that learning to make music is just as important. Learning to play music promotes cognitive development in children. 
 Learning and playing music evokes the following sensations: 
 Determination: Being able to master  difficult  music evokes pride and  desire to master other difficult tasks. Confidence: Making music gives your child enough confidence and confidence to play in front of others. Time management: Music teachers (generally teachers) are less tolerant of being late, and conscious efforts to make it in  time teach a sense of responsibility and consider others' time. Passion: Music has to move and feel. By playing music, the child will be exposed to their emotions and will be able to express themselves more clearly. If you really love what you're doing, do it for hours! Team Building: By working in a team, your child learns to recognize their strengths and weaknesses and support others.

STUDY UNIT 2:MUSIC CONCEPTS

Music elements are the building blocks in music.Through combining the different elements,we can create music.Tone refers to a specific music elements that gives music its characteristic sound and through which we differentiate between music and noise.

The basic elements of music are:

•duration(of tone)-including music concepts of beat,meter,rhythm and tempo

•pitch(of tone)

•intensity(of tone)

quality(of tone)

•Texture

Explanation of concept in music

Duration:the length of sounds and silences in music 

Pitch:a high or low sound

Beat:The basic unit of time,the pulse,of the mensural level.The beat is often defined as the rhythm listeners would tap their toes to when listening to a piece of music

Rhythm:It refers to the recurrence of notes and rests(silence)in time.Also is the pattern of sound,silence and emphasis in a song.

Meter:defined as the rhythmic pattern constituted by the grouping of basic temporal units called beats into regular measures or bars

Tempo:is the speed or pace of a given piece.In a classical music,tempo is typically indicated with an instruction at the start of a piece and it's usually measured in beats per minutes.

Timbre:Known as tone color or tone quality and is the perceived sound quality and is the perceived sound quality of a musical note,sound or tone.

Texture:how the tempo,melodic and harmonic materials are combined in a musical composition determing the overall quality of the sound in peace 

How do music concepts relates to life skills,mathematics and language education

Music and mathematics are closely related, and in mathematics there are ninety-nine notes to play the notes more beautifully, but to understand the structure of music and so on. Mathematics teaches music using numbers, patterns, and note values. The three subjects of mathematics, life skills, and language are related because they share the same musical element or concept: time signature, rhythm, pitch, and note value for performing musical activities. Life skills and language education have the same musical concept as mathematics. The concept of music is related to mathematics in that it uses both patterns. It (math) describes how a setting vibrates at a particular frequency. When the child is doing math, the child can recite the music and the pitch emphasis can be used as an abstract algebra for analyzing the music. Since it is , music is taught in the same way regardless of the subject.

 

UNIT 1:MUSIC AND HOLISTIC DEVELOPMENT

Holistic development basically means developing the child's intellectual,mental,physical,emotional and social skills to meet the demands and challenges of daily life.These skills are essential to success in any discipline.

Every child is unique.He or she has a unique personality,interests,tastes,values,attitudes,strength and weakness.The educational curriculum needs to help each child find his or her unique place in the world that correspond to his or her uniqueness.

 

Music development in the foundation phase

By the time the children started school,they had developed the ability to selectively listen,and targeted listening increases work behaviour and length of listening.This is a very important development to allow children to focus on specific musical aspects,During this period,another form of "selective" listening was developed,reducing children's openness to non-Western music.In addition to the ability to selectively listen,middle-aged children also developed other skills.With the ability to adjust the pitch more accurately.
